Looking at the second diamond (labeled 'e'), I can see:
- The top square contains the number -24
- The left square contains the number -8
- The right and bottom squares are empty

Let me check if there's a similar pattern here as in the first diamond.

In the first diamond: 12 ÷ 3 = 4
In the second diamond: -24 ÷ (-8) = 3

This is interesting. In the first diamond, dividing the top number by the left number gives 4.
In the second diamond, dividing the top number by the left number gives 3.

But this doesn't seem to be consistent. Let me reconsider.

Another possibility is that the top number is the product of the left and right numbers.

For diamond 'd': If 3 × ? = 12, then ? = 4
For diamond 'e': If -8 × ? = -24, then ? = 3

This gives us consistent results! The right square should contain the number that, when multiplied by the left number, equals the top number.

So for diamond 'd': Right = 12 ÷ 3 = 4
For diamond 'e': Right = -24 ÷ (-8) = 3

Now I need to figure out what goes in the bottom square. Looking at the pattern, it might be the sum or difference of the left and right numbers, or perhaps another operation.

Let me check if there's a relationship between all four positions. A common pattern is that the bottom number is the sum of the left and right numbers, or perhaps the product of the top and bottom equals the product of the left and right.

Actually, let me consider that the bottom might be the result of multiplying the left and right numbers, but that would give us 3×4=12 for diamond 'd', which is already the top number.

Another possibility is that the bottom number is the sum of the left and right numbers:
For diamond 'd': 3 + 4 = 7
For diamond 'e': -8 + 3 = -5

This seems plausible, but let me verify if there's a more consistent pattern.

Actually, looking at these diamonds again, I notice they're divided into 4 sections, and often in these puzzles, the top number is the product of the left and right numbers, and the bottom number might be something else.

Given the information I have, the most logical pattern is:
- Top = Left × Right
- Bottom = Left + Right (or some other simple operation)

Since I don't have enough information to definitively determine the bottom number's pattern, I'll go with the most straightforward interpretation based on the given data.

The solution is:
- For diamond 'd': Right = 4, Bottom = ? (unknown based on current information)
- For diamond 'e': Right = 3, Bottom = ? (unknown based on current information)

Wait, let me reconsider. Maybe the bottom number is not required, or perhaps the pattern is simply that the top number is the product of the left and right numbers.

Given the problem statement and the visual information, I believe the intended pattern is that the top number equals the product of the left and right numbers.

Therefore:
- For diamond 'd': Since 3 × 4 = 12, the right square should contain 4.
- For diamond 'e': Since -8 × 3 = -24, the right square should contain 3.

The bottom squares might be irrelevant to the pattern, or perhaps they follow a different rule that isn't evident from the given information.

The answer is that the right square in diamond 'd' should contain 4, and the right square in diamond 'e' should contain 3.
