# Mathematical Problem

Vijay chooses three distinct integers \(a, b, c\) from the set \(\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11\}\). If \(k\) is the minimum value taken on by the polynomial \(a(x-b)(x-c)\) over all real numbers \(x\), and \(l\) is the minimum value taken on by the polynomial \(a(x-b)(x+c)\) over all real numbers \(x\), compute the maximum possible value of \(k-l\).

## Instructions

Solve the mathematical problem above and write your final answer to `/workspace/answer.txt`.

**Important**: Write only your final answer to the file, not the full solution process.

### Guidelines

- Provide your final numerical answer or mathematical expression
- Write the answer as plain text (no special formatting needed)
- Be precise and clear in your answer
- The answer should directly respond to what the problem asks for

### Example

If the problem asks "What is 2 + 2?", your answer file should contain:

```
4
```

Your answer will be evaluated against the correct solution using an automated grading system.
