Motivating example

Imagine you're holding a raffle at a meetup. You're going to give away 3 prizes. All of the attendees have been assigned a number, from 1 to 30.

seq 30 | ...

Now shuffle the members (requires GNU shuf):

seq 30 | shuf | ...

Select only the first 3:

seq 30 | shuf | head -3 | ...

And now add suspense by using reveal!

seq 30 | shuf | head -3 | reveal
