I've got a couple that come from my curiosity about TLG itself:

How do they (TLG) determine which pieces go into which bags in a kit?

Sometimes it seems logical: one bag of 5  1X12 beams, for example, or
all technic connectors (but they might put a couple of 1-dot plates,
if the kit calls for it.)

Other times it just seems weird -- no logic to it.

It's not like there seem to be any common packs, really.

Related:  Is the kit inventory build process automated?  Or is there
some poor guy with really thick glasses going "Seventeen black 1X2s?
Check.  Two black rubber bands?  Check.  Thirty-four glow-green dots?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...".

If it's automated, I'd sure be interested in how that works.
