"Your task is to make the largest number of the Great Discoveries and maximally to delay the doomsday"

What does "largest number of the Great Discoveries" mean ?

you go to K, K^2, K^3, K^4 and so on, all this modulo N.
You stop when you find a value that was before. Maximize this means to find a K so that this "collision" appears later...

Oh , I see . I misunderstood it . Thank you for your help !
