What about a p2p network that would have a client that you could use to lock an integer number of your choice that nobody in the network could know till some proof-of-work was done. The final number would be the sum of all such peer locked numbers. That number would be determined before the proof-of-work but nobody could know it, which would make that number interesting for gambling games, for instance. It could represent the number of shifts in a spinning wheel, for instance.
Or the number of times a list of participants needed to be shifted or shuffled to get the list of winners for that contest.
What do you think?

{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

I don't see how this could work. You cannot conceal and process information at the same time.
