I want to divide a list in "a specific number of" sublists.

That is, for example if I have a list `List(34, 11, 23, 1, 9, 83, 5)` and the number of sublists expected is 3 then I want `List(List(34, 11), List(23, 1), List(9, 83, 5))`.

How do I go about doing this? I tried `grouped` but it doesn't seem to be doing what I want.

PS: This is not a homework question. Kindly give a direct solution instead of some vague suggestions.

EDIT:

A little change in the requirements...

Given a list `List(34, 11, 23, 1, 9, 83, 5)` and number of sublists = 3, I want the output to be `List(List(34), List(11), List(23, 1, 9, 83, 5))`. (i.e. 1 element per list except for the last list which holds all the remaining elements.)
