OK, I have a question:
What is minimise?
I am not a native English speaker, and subsequently I do not know. Wikipedia is offering no help.
My task is:
Find the pair of pentagonal numbers, Pj and Pk, for which their sum and difference is pentagonal and D = |Pk-Pj| is minimised; what is the value of D?
So, what does it mean that |Pk-Pj| is minimised?
