Let
$X_1,\ldots, X_n$ be independent integers distributed uniformly on [M],
$M\ge 2$. A partition S of [n] into
$\nu$ non-empty subsets
$S_1,\ldots, S_{\nu}$ is called perfect if all
$\nu$ values
$\sum_{j\in S_{\alpha}}X_j$ are equal. For a perfect partition to exist,
$\sum_j X_j$ has to be divisible by
$\nu$. In 2001, for
$\nu=2$, Christian Borgs, Jennifer Chayes, and the author proved that, conditioned on
$\sum_j X_j$ being even, with high probability a perfect partition exists if
$\kappa\;:\!=\; \lim {{n}/{\log M}}>{{1}/{\log 2}}$, and that with high probability no perfect partition exists if
$\kappa<{{1}/{\log 2}}$. Responding to a question by George Varghese, we prove that for
$\nu\ge 3$ with high probability no perfect partition exists if
$\kappa<{{2}/{\log \nu}}$, which is twice as large as the naive threshold
$1/\log 3$ for
$\nu=3$. We identify the range of
$\kappa$ where the expected number of perfect partitions is exponentially high. We show that for
$\kappa> {{2(\nu-1)}/{\log[(1-2\nu^{-2})^{-1}]}}$ the total number of perfect partitions is exponentially high with probability
$\gtrsim (1+\nu^2)^{-1}$, i.e. below
$1/\nu$, the limiting probability that
$\sum_j X_j$ is divisible by
$\nu$.
