My Erdős Number

Thanks to my thesis advisor and co-author, I have a finite Erdős number: 6.  Not so small, but something.  

According to MathSciNet's calculator, here's the path:

Brian R. Greenecoauthored withShing-Tung YauMR1059826
Shing-Tung Yaucoauthored withFan ChungMR1779780
Fan Chungcoauthored withPaul1 ErdősMR0889356

MathSciNet doesn't have all the papers; in particular, it doesn't have the two that I wrote with Craig Hogan, so there's a chance my Erdős number is smaller
