Pseudocode is a textual or semi-functional description of code to solve a problem. So if, the C code were for (int i == 0; i < 10; i++)... the pseudocode would be something like
for i = 0 while i is less than 10 then increment i and do stuff until i equals or is greater than 10
Got it?

It's often a much higher level description of a process or algorithm, eg rubberman's example could be
Do <stuff> for each whole number between 1 and 10
In general you can take pseudo-code and turn it into a program in a language of your choice - the pseudo code will tell you what needs to be done without getting into the specifics of how you would do that in any particular language.
I can't think of any solvable "problems that concern it". You just write it.
