I agree, there seems to be lots of answers:

Perhaps there is some info missing.

I think there must be an "8" missing i.e. it should be "shared equally between the 8 grandchildren". If there are X diamonds and N grandhildren then: (X/N) - 2 = 2N + 2 ; X - 2N = 2N^2 +2N; X=2N^2 + 4N. If N = 8 then X=160.
