Bow down all before me...

... for, according to the American Mathematical Society, I have an Erdös number of 5.

The chain goes Me → Alan Mycroft → Richard A. O'Keefe → Leon Sterling → Nicholas C. Wormald → Paul Erdös.

Woohoo!

(for those of you who don't know what on earth I'm talking about, look here)

Edit: I have been playing a bit with the AMS web site. It seems I have an Alan Turing number of 7, a Carl Friedrich Gauss number of 9 and a Catherine Greenhill number of 5 (not that many of you know here, but galliana knows her well).

(Actually, I just like saying "Laszlo Babai".)

gosh, a reccuring ghostie! *fascinated* why Laszlo Babai? (*complete lack of appropriate cultural reference*)

Oh, there's no particular reference - it's just a fun name to say.
