Four jolly men sat down to play...?!
Question: Four jolly men sat down to play, And played all night till the break of day. They played for cash and not for fun, With a separate score for every one. When it came time to square accounts, They all had made quite fair amounts. Now, not one has lost and all have gained, Tell me, now, this can you explain?

They are part of an orchestra. Perhaps playing at a party or dance? The score for each one is his sheet music, and the person who threw the party is paying them.
no, unless they were playing the stock market?
when it came time to square accounts... the square of a number is always double??????
They were using someone elses money
They were jolly because they had all come out ahead, but they weren't the only ones at the table. At least 1 more person was playing, but probably wasn't very jolly!
