An easy (or not so easy?) one from a Spanish...

[William Where]

Anagrams are really usual here, I know, but what about a 25% of it? That is quite less usual, I promise (rather than swear: I do not like the first of the double of the number of the god with troubles that told to that river (or it was not a river? I always misspell that one...), and I eliminate what I do not like).

I think this is superfluous by now, but 25 + 80 = 100, sometimes.

Ummm, a really interesting one...

Maybe something to do with Zeus and Styx, or something like that?

By the way:

forty-two

[William Where]

Should I had specify that it is a THP?


Oh, and also... BUMP

Come on, try it.

[William Where]

I begin to think that no one is interested in this one...


But I won't surrender. Here you got some hint:

The river is in USA.
The God is from greek pantheon.
The final answer is a single word.

This is my last try. After this, I will commit suicide... Or maybe I simply try with another puzzle, more easy than this one. I maybe overvalorated you.

HINTS:


The first and the last lines are hints.

The solution is a word, and you can obtain it from the central paragraph.

The fact that I am Spanish is also a hint.

You will obtain the solution in two pieces from the central paragraph.

The misspell is: "oust" in the real world is changed by "uds" in the misspelled word, that is a river from USA.

I will admit, WW, that it's a little hard to tell what's part of the puzzle, and what's part of English not being your first language. What you have here is a far better word puzzle than I could write in Spanish, I have no doubt. But--is "mening" as a typo for "meaning" meaningful, or a second-language problem? What about "some times" being two words? And so on.

Don't take this as discouragement; just an explanation as to why I, for one, haven't particularly gotten very far on this.

[William Where]

You're right Tahnan. I commited faults that I did not see, I'm sorry. I have checked again the puzzle, and eliminated errors and the first line, that was not esential and could lead to error. I think that now it is resoluble. The fact that I am Spanish shouldn't matter. As I have said, I said it because it can be used to solve the puzzle.

Sorry again for the faults. It won't happen again (I won't tell I'm Spanish again, I mean).

And thanks for the explanation, Tahnan.
