And finally, Paul Erdos (Erdős Pál) visited us and gave a talk, and kindly posed for photos. I was much better with a camera than my roommate, so he got the in-focus snap. (-: Unfortunately, this proximity did not make me any smarter, so here I am.

@shriramk damn that's a small number. And you simultaneously improved mine. Thank you for the reveal. Hey @SteveBellovin and @mattblaze and @peterhoneyman your Erdos number may have just improved in my measurable universe

@shriramk wait, that’s clearly the same backdrop and outfit for the Paul Erdos photo on Wikipedia. So I presume that is the other one you took?
