Take one 1, two 2s, three 3s, four 4s, five 5s, six 6s, seven 7s, and eight 8s and place them in a 6-by-6 grid, one digit per square, such that each row, column, and major diagonal sums to 34.

(In reply to My Solution by Dustin)

Gramatically, however, the comma after column implies that it means both major diagonals as well. Otherwise, you can't be sure he implies it must be all columns that add up to 34 as opposed to just one.
