+"""
+Pentagonal numbers are generated by the formula, P(n) = n(3n - 1)/2.
+The first ten pentagonal numbers are:
+    1, 5, 12, 22, 35, 51, 70, 92, 117, 145, ...
+
+It can be seen that P(4) + P(7) = 22 + 70 = 92 = P(8).
+However, their difference, 70 - 22 = 48 , is not pentagonal.
+
+Find the pair of pentagonal numbers, P_j and P_k,
+for which their sum and difference are pentagonal and D = |P_j - P_k| is minimised; what is the value of D ?
