Huh I figured I didn't have an Erdos number because I only incidentally became a second author on like one or two papers during my time in an Uni lab.
I do remember a conversation with one of the professors in my lab who wanted me to talk to one of my other professors (Odlyzko) about finding a paper topic. Which I thought was weird because it's a totally different field, but turns out Odlyzko has an Erdos number of 1, and that was the whole motivation, lol. Nothing came of it. But for some reason that interaction had me mis-remember that I didn't have an Erdos number at all.
But apparently anyone who's ever published an article anywhere has an Erdos number, so mine is 6.
