Paul Erdős was a prolific writer of academic papers, and he collaborated with over 500 fellow mathematicians over the course of his life. Eventually, the concept of the "Erdős number" arose.

Paul Erdős has an Erdős number of zero.
Anyone who collaborated with Erdős has an Erdős number of 1.
Anyone who collaborated with someone who collaborated with Erdős has an Erdős number of 2.

And so on.

We can transfer this concept to the world of Starcraft by thinking about the people who have beaten Flash.

(T)Flash has a Flash number of zero.
(Z)Jaedong has a Flash number of 1. (link)
(P)iNcontroL has a Flash number of 2 (he beat Jaedong in a practice match at one point if I recall correctly)
Superiorwolf has a Flash number of 3.

What is your Flash number?

My Flash number is 3 as a result of the pounding inflicted on me by (P)iNcontroL.
Edit: Upon further examination of the rules it appears my Flash number is 4 because I've beaten a friend of mine who beat iNcontroL.

I think the OP is saying that you need to BEAT that person to get your FlaSh number. If you didn't beat iNcontroL, it doesn't give you the number.

Unless I'm just not understand this correctly.

At most a 3. maybe a 2.

edit: after seeing the rules better my Flash number is definitely a 3.

I beat incontrol in a clanmatch in broodwar so my flash number is 3! whoah that's fucking insane!!! does it count that he offraced and i don't think he was that serious about it since i was a c rank newbie? was a bo3 though ^_^ essentially this means anyone who ever beat incontrol has a flash number of 3 though, which should be quite a lot.

Probably a 4, beat someone who claimed to beat incontrol

funny how every example has incontrol
I'm in masters (also diamond ELO) so obviously I know what I'm talking about

Featured? I'm lost.
Since when and why would JD ever practice with (P)iNcontroL?

What if you beat the person in SC2? What about Chess? Foot race? Pie-eating contest?

In each of those respectively, my Flash number is 93, 87, 72, and 1.

<@Wikt> so you are one of those nega-fans <@Wikt> that hates the company that makes a game and everything they stand for <@Wikt> but still plays the game <@Wikt> (like roughly 30% of blizzard's player base, maybe much more...)

Jaedong didn't start bw as an S class progamer.

I imagine mine would be either infinite or nonexistant. I never did get above D+ on iccup, so I doubt I ever beat anybody who ever beat anybody who ever beat anybody (...) who beat Flash.
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!

I can't say with 100% certainty, but I'm quite sure it's a 3.
Surprise, motherfucker!

You've beaten incontrol?

I'm going to guess 5 or at most 6. The thing about the way the Flash number is being defined is that if you've beaten someone even just once, that counts as a connection.

Did Incontrol really beat Jaedong once? I know zvz is volatile but that's a pretty impressive accomplishment, everyone knows mondi once beat sea, why haven't I heard this?
p.s. anyone who's beaten desrow has a FlaSh number of two not that its nearly as impressive
