I wasn't born in Yorkshire, but I spent most of my childhood growing up there. Yorkshire, a large county in the north east of England, has its own collection of slang, not least including the word "aye", which it appears is appropriate in response to pretty much any situation. Another slang phrase is "divvy up". Basically, this just means to divide a bunch of things up somehow.

These days, I spend a lot of my time writing C#. If I'm dealing with a bunch of things in C#, I'll usually store them in a generic List collection, or some other collection. This got me thinking: how can I divvy up a List in C# into multiple Lists? And that's when I decided to implement the Divvy extension method.

What we're aiming for

Suppose we have a list of scores:

var Scores = new List<int>()
    { 87, 32, 45, 60, 91, 10, 58, 77, 66, 71 };
