Task description

The task description currently reads: "Find and show on this page the minimum number of cells after, before, above and below N×N squares, where N = 10."

But "cells after, before, above and below" here suggests addition when what we're looking for is the minimum of the four lengths of distances to the edge in each of the up, down, left and right directions.

So I'm wondering if we can't make the task description a little less ambiguous by rephrasing. (But I'm not completely convinced here that my second paragraph, above, is actually any clearer. Does anyone have strong opinions here?) --Rdm (talk) 19:35, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
