Your hypothesis is very imaginative. I could not possibly have twenty-one hands (plus the two I was already born with). If I were to play every single one of the games at the same time, I would need twelve different gaming systems. To accommodate those twelve different gaming systems, I would need to have twelve different televisions. I may have quite a big dorm room, but there is no way I could fit twelve different television sets in my room AND have room to sleep. Even if I could manage to accommodate twelve different television sets in my room, the university would definitely send me a notice of all of the electricity I am using. With all that electrical current flowing through my room, that would certainly serve as a fire hazard. If I were to have twelve different television images, I would need to have twelve different sets of eyes. You could stare at my forehead all you want to, but I guarantee that you will not find more than one pair of eyes on my head. Since there is no point in hiding my secret any longer, I might as well tell you. The truth is, I have blazing fast reflexes. Milliseconds to others seem like regular seconds to me. But don’t worry, I’ll still give you a high 5, err, high 21. Very clever Miranda, very clever. Your hypothesis is very imaginative.
