A number n > 1 is harmonic if sigma(n) vertical bar n tau(n), where tau(n) and sigma(n) are the number of positive divisors of n and their sum, respectively. It is known that there are no odd harmonic numbers up to 10(16). We show here that, for any odd

Let tau(n) denote the number of positive divisors of a natural number n > 1 and let sigma( n) denote their sum. Then n is superharmonic if sigma(n) vertical bar n(k)tau(n) for some positive integer k. We deduce numerous properties of superharmonic numbers and show in particular that the set of all superharmonic numbers is the first nontrivial example that has been given of an infinite set that contains all perfect numbers but for which it is difficult to determine whether there is an odd member.

This note considers possible arrangements of the sectors of a generalised dartboard. The sum of the pth powers of the absolute differences of the numbers on adjacent sectors is introduced as a penalty cost function and a string reversal algorithm is used to determine all arrangements that maximise the penalty, for any p 1. The maximum value of the penalty function for p = 1 is well known in the literature, and has been previously stated without proof for p = 2. We determine it also for p = 3 and p = 4.
