Project Euler Problem 44 question

Name: Anonymous 2008-08-27 12:52

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?

As small as possible.

It means this is a useless endeavor and you should be doing something more practical.

Project Euler is in English no matter what country you're in.

Don't change these.
