How do you usually find the numerical distribution? I tend to write down all possibilities, which takes a lot of time! Any better way to find it quickly?
Thank you in advance!

Chapter 12: Numbers Issues (P. 159).
What's the chapter for numerical distribution?

Make sure you factor in any potential restrictions that the game imposes before you just start drawing out game boards. Sometimes the distribution can end up limited to a few possibilities, but other times we're just left with an open board and not much to work with. You need to figure out which kind of game you're dealing with. If rules impose restrictions on distribution, you usually will need to define your possibilities. This is important on those games because you can then use your newly defined distribution to push back on your rules to force further inferences. On the other kind of game though, you've got to just be at peace with the fact that you've got open possibilities. On these, you won't be able to use distribution to push back on your rules to figure out any further meaningful information. So it's not really helpful in these cases and you just end up spending lots of time making out game boards that you can't do anything with.

Given some number of variables, if the question asks you to assign the variables into groups of whatever they want.. how do you usually find the numerical distribution of them? I tend to write down all possibilities, which takes tons of time! Any better way to find ti quickly?
Thank you in advance!
There's a great chapter on this in The LSAT Trainer. Check it out if you haven't already. That's where I learned some great strategies for number distribution.
