One night four men sat down to play;

They played all night ’til break of day.

They played for gold and not for fun

With separate scores for everyone.

When it came time to square accounts,

All men had made quite fair amounts.

Can you the paradox explain,

If no man lost, how could all gain?

They were playing together against external opponents. Sounds familiar.

#rhetoricalriddle! 😊

Good answer, I like your thinking, but on this occasion I'm afraid to say that isn't the answer we're looking for.

They cant, and they should face the gallows for their crimes against humanity.

Is that it? 🤣

They're musicians, playing music, the score is their music sheet.
