Hi @shylahmarie@gmail.com, thanks for your post. Developing a "numerical distribution" requires you to look at the base rules of the game. Here, there are 5 talks (F, G, H, I, L) and 4 Softcorp employees (Q, R, S, T). You are told that each employee attends exactly 2 of the talks, and that no talk is attended by more than 2 employees. The latter clue tells you that you have a max attendance of 2.

Our video explanation for the game should help you with this point as well; if you haven't watched it (or even if you have), we encourage you to do so.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
