    Huh, my rational number is ∞...or at least one bigger than five. I'm irrational =(

    What do us glorious R1's win? You know, besides the fortune, fame, and thrice-daily blowjobs I get from being a well known fanfiction author?

    First of all, we know you're lying about at least two of those things.

    As for me, the numbers agree with the Wife: I am irrational.

    For what it's worth, my Erdös number is 3 (through an obscure conference proceedings) or 4 (through proper refereed articles).

    Wouldn't it also be helpful to list the path taken to determine the number like WH and Pers did? For verification purposes, blackmail, you know, that type of thing?

    It'd be nice if the script would eventually take into account every instance and output something like.

    2 of Less Wrong's favorites have you on their lists.

    Your Rational Number is : 2^2

    Yeah, was rather sure that my irrationality is over 100 or something, but by a quirk of fate, think it's 3.

    LessWrong -> Velorien -> Majin Hentai X -> me

    Eilyfe linked by Majin Hentai X
