Well, never mind. I'm sure your entirely human fingers are hitting all the right keys, and your eyes, just the two of them, are feeding back the results.

That's right.
Except for when My Palpebrae are conducting a blink, of course!

Ah, once more a splendid example of the ambiguity permitted by the English language. "So glad I shall win once more" - this could be either of:
- "I am glad (from some other cause) therefore I shall go on to win again"
- "I am glad because I have won again"
Fascinating how cause and effect are swapped between these meanings.
And taking the second of these: I have won again, and therefore I am glad!

Nice analysis.
Here's a less ambiguous statement, then:
I win.

Ah, the triumph of the true artist, reducing the text to its starkest, most elegant form!

Alas, all I can offer in response is the repetitive and purely derivative: win!

Indeed, multiple wins - though only successive, not simultaneous.
