Simple, I hope.

Enjoy!

[$$] and [&&] has something to do with [?].
To illustrate that:
$ + $ = 10
And $ + $ + & + & is also equal to 10!
MAGIC!

[####] is the most obvious of the bunch.
In fact, pick any [#] you like, multiply it by [?], and the result will be the same.
Conveniently, that result is [%] itself!

Dev0_NZ: well my attempts failed, if anyone figures it out please post it (after claiming of course)

my logic went along these lines

$ = 5

& = 0

? = 1

# = %

meaning that # and % could be 0-9... which didnt appear to work regardless

desseim: The error message changes to "This code is currently being redeemed by someone." with these values so I guess it must be it.

desseim: The text of the puzzle prompt makes it quite confusing, but if you boil it down to:

$ + $ == 10
$ + $ + & + & == 10
# * ? == %

it gets clearer.
Assuming each symbol maps to a unique digit, and all matching digits in the code have been replaced by their symbol, # and ? had to be 2 and 4, so it gives only 2 possible permutations ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Drakon135790: .
What the hell kind of puzzle is this supposed to be?

Drakon135790: At first when I saw this post I thought I'd be happy to stretch the grey cells in my brain a little for the sheer pleasure of solving a puzzle, but when I read the content of this post I grabbed my head because there is not a shred of logic in it that I could rely on in attempting to solve this creation

Drakon135790: coming from a twisted sense of humour, a warped imagination and an absolute lack of logical thinking.

desseim: I think:
$ -> 5
& -> 0
# -> 4
? -> 2
% -> 8

Once you figured out that their true value which is:
5 - 5 and 0 - 0
The thing they have in common is that they're "pairs". Which has something to do with [?].
A pair is made up of "2"

I also put visual representation:
[$$] [&&] [?] [####] [%]

Two pairs and Two singles. None of which character count denotes their value. (Yet still clues something: like a pair for instance)
Only [####] which are 4 characters missing and hints its value. That's why visually speaking, it's the easiest.

I hope I'm not being completely nonsense-twisted-illogical person any longer.

Dev0_NZ: i attached the convo with the AI bot, probably didnt help that i feed it the wrong info
