> Ronald Graham, a fellow mathematician-juggler...

I first read about Graham as a friend and collaborator of Paul Erdos in 'The Man Who Loved Only Numbers'. As well as his mathematical achievements, Graham was also at one time president of the Internal Jugglers Association. If you have never read the book, it is a fascinating insight into the lives and non-math idiosyncrasies of Erdos and his fellow wizards.

I have an Erdös number of 2[] via a paper, co-authored with Ron Graham, on the topic of the maths of juggling.

AMA.

[] I also have an Erdös number of the second type of 3, but that doesn't involve Ron Graham or juggling.
