Add together five different numbers from the grid above to achieve the highest possible total. Starting at column A and working your way across to column E, only one number may be chosen from each column, and no two numbers may be from the same row or diagonal line.

Seems that neither Ady nor I really took notice of the "diagonal line" inclusion!

I'll make a backwards note about my listing.
