I with I could go back and edit my initial response as -10 would have been my answer if I didn’t have a senior moment and get 20 in B instead of 30.
You have the answer I should have calculated.

Assuming there is such a thing as half a chicken that lays half an egg, there would be 9. If no half eggs and chickens, then 6.

Zero is what I figured. If you add the numbers up in each of the pentagons you get 20.

I find the other answers posted interesting but I’ll go with the more straight forward answer which is 10.

These kind of puzzles annoy me a little bit, There are at least four valid answers. It's a degenerate puzzle.

Correction the second puzzle adds to 30 so the number should be -10 not 0.

SPOILERS!!!
I see what they’re going for. The middle pentagon’s numbers are the sum of the other two pentagons. Their intended answer is 10. That’s the simplest one.
Many Freepers have proposed other answers. They are equally valid, just a bit more complex.
