We discuss a version the methodology for obtaining exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations based on the possibility for use of: (i) more than one simplest equation; (ii) relationship that contains as particular cases the relationship used by Hirota \citehirota and the relationship used in the previous version of the methodology; (iii) transformation of the solution that contains as particular case the possibility of use of the Painleve expansion; (iv) more than one balance equation. The discussed version of the methodology allows: (i) obtaining multi-soliton solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations if such solutions do exist; (ii) obtaining particular solutions of nonintegrable nonlinear partial differential equations. Several examples for the application of the methodology are discussed. Special attention is devoted to the use of the simplest equation fξ=n[f(n-1)/n - f(n+1)/n] where n is a positive real number. This simplest equation allows us to obtain exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations containing fractional powers.
