Given that the OP has apparently completely ignored all the help and 
advice given here, and seems to have no intention of clarifying or 
expounding upon the first post, I think it is pointless to speculate on 
what the OP might have meant.  Just take the question as inspiration - 
interpret it any way that can lead to interesting code, algorithms or 
discussions.  (This is what has been going on so far in this thread.)

When the OP comes back with "Thanks for the help so far, but what I 
really meant was ... ", then it is possible to give focused help.
