I think you meant to say "no odd wierd number is known." The reference Weird Number lists several even ones.
This reference to Semiperfect Numbers says that every multiple of a semiperfect number is semiperfect, which makes me think some form of sieving process would eliminate many cases quickly.
Update: I found a paper using google: Sums of Divisors and Egyptian Fractions which has some interesting results on weird numbers. Two things it mentioned are that a computer search proved there are no odd wierds below 2^32, and that all abundant numbers of the form 3^a * 5^b * 7^c are semiperfect (where a, b, c > 0).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
