    quotation
    In the answers to “What's an easy way to obtain a low Erdős number?” Dr. Matt Macauley is described as having an Erdos number of 3 and a Bacon number of 2 so through this link Erdos and Bacon have a Erdos-Bacon number of 5. As Bacon hasn’t published in journals (as far as I’m aware) and Erdos didn’t appear in films, then Bacon’s Erdos number and Erdos’ Bacon number wouldn’t exist rather than being infinite. (English)
