What a fun site, thanks for this. I'd heard of Erdos numbers but never
gone looking for the details.

since
Dan Kleitman actually appears (briefly) in and is a mathematical
consultant
for the movie Good Will Hunting, Bacon has a combined Erdös/Bacon number
of 3, since Kleitman has Bacon number 2 (via
Minnie Driver, who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon) and
Erdös number 1. Bruce
Reznick is in a similar position, with an Erdös number of 1 and a
Bacon number (by virture of being an extra in Pretty Maids All in a
Row with Roddy
McDowall)

...it's about time we started computing co-depiction numbers for Bacon
and/or Erdos!

Anybody here been photographed with someone who has been in a movie with
someone who has...(etc)?
