Erdös/Bacon Numbers

The Erdös number is the number of links away from prolific mathematician Paul Erdös based on co-authorship of papers. The Bacon Number is the number of links actors and actresses are away (from Kevin Bacon) based on co-starring in a movie.

I have confirmed that my Erdös number is at most a modest value of 4, based on the following graph from Microsoft's Visual Explorer:

Before Microsoft's Visual Explorer the best path I was able to calculate was: Kenrick Mock co-author with Sergio Alvarado co-author with Margot Flowers co-author with Lawrence Birnbaum co-author with Ronald Rivest co-author with Nathan Linial co-author with Paul Erdös.
