Help a Mom with Math Homework

What were the instructions? Are you working in some number base (other than 10, obviously)? Is this a riddle that you think might be mathematical, but you don't know for sure?

Please reply with clarification. Thank you! :D

But this isn't a word problem, that I can tell. Or is there more to this...?

What "diagonal"? Is there a table or a grid or a graphic that goes with this?

I'm sorry but, without explanation or instructions, this is just somebody's idea of a riddle or a puzzle. I don't see how this is "mathematical".
