2. Title Clue
The trivia game Six Degrees of Kevin
Bacon is based on the concept of the
small world phenomenon and rests on
the assumption that any actor can be
linked through his or her film roles to
actor Kevin Bacon
Every Actor has a
Bacon Number!
3. Every Scientist has an
Erdös Number
Scientists and mathematicians have
been calculating their Erdös number for
years. Paul Erdös was the Kevin Bacon
of mathematicians, having published
more than 1400 papers with numerous
collaborators. Anyone who was a co-
author with Erdös has an Erdös number
of one. Their collaborators, in turn, have
an Erdös number of two, and so on.
The network of mathematicians is a
small-world network.
