Erdos Status Market Report
I assume that most of my readers have low Erdos numbers and will therefore wish to know what they are worth. My original bid of $1.35 turned out to be too low. The number five went for $1,031 dollars.

Update:: The virtue of erdos numbers has found a defender! A rightous Don Quixote . A brave man willing to defend the foundations of the ivory tower from such flippant conceptual undermining.
