I have an informal Bacon number of 3 (me (uncredited in Bonekickers) - Hugh Bonneville - David Hayman - Kevin Bacon).

I have an informal Armada number of 5 (me (in friendly match) - Wulf - Saftblandarn - Pipsqueak - Hungrybox - Armada).

I know my stories have been quoted in academic papers, which I think should count for an informal Erdős number, but I don't know if they've been used by an author with an Erdős number.

Are there any other numbers I could lay claim to?

@cunobaros Sabbath Number as in in if you have sung with anyone who has sung with Black Sabbath etc & I think there is an Asimov number if you have had any writings in short story book that has a relevant chain of Authors. In aside #GNUTerryPratchett was one of the super-connected by having an EBS number combined Erdos Bacon Sabbath he probably had an Asimov number as well it was shown on a website once but i think it disappeared by bitrot & i don't if it was backed up on Archive.org Wayback machine as I can't recall the address.

I think I should have an EBS number but never managed to work it out as have problem working out my Erdos number which i think i should get for being quoted on a paper about the 1st solar garage connected to the UK grid but we might both also get one from our #DiscWorld fandom associations as there was someone who IIRC was doing a PHD on modern folklore sources & used #Discworld fans as sources he came to at least one of the @dwcon events & I think some other Discworld events.

@SANEAlex @cunobaros @dwcon I found this page https://supersonicman.wordpress.com/2016/07/06/erdos-bacon-number/ but unfortunately it doesn’t give enough detail to verify #gnuterrypratchett EBS-number of 9.
Erdős-Bacon number

The Erdős-Bacon number is defined as the sum of the number of onscreen filmmaking collaborations it takes to connect a person to actor Kevin Bacon, and the number of academic publishing collaborati…

@patrick @cunobaros @dwcon This conversation had me going down the rabbit hole of these degrees of separation numbers and apparently #GNUTerryPratchett did also have a Clarke Number but i could not find an Asimov number or a Heinlein number for him. Apparently I remembered the rules for an Asimov number wrong it should be via a direct writing collaboration(rare) rather than appear in anthology of short stories which would be a much easier chain of degrees of separation as many authors have written short stories in different anthologies.
