Trick question.
0 force is required. The puck will keep sliding at constant velocity forever without friction or air resistance.

Any force will keep it at the same pace if friction and wind are ignored. A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Newtons law of something or other.

Zero. It's already in motion at constant velocity. Since you've stated that the two largest sources of forces that opposes motion, I must assume you mean to frame the question in such a way that there are no forces that opposes motion.
