A question about the meaning of this problem

"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...
