Do the capital letters of Ambler have some bearing on the clue

I'm wondering if it may be an anagram of AMBLER LIABLE OF as that's 14 letters.

Also, if it isn't, should't it be "Ambler liable to"... as that's more grammatically correct (I think!!)

That was an act of pure genius!!!! My heartiest congratulations.

Glad I was on the right track but as I'd never heard of him would have stood no chance.

Presumably the "bolognese" was to indicate it was an Italian.

No not pure genius Wendy - I just used the Universal Anagram Solver!! Although I am actually a mathematician, but that's just coincidence!

Well done sudokulover!
Never heard of the mathematician but imaginary numbers and negatives are certainly connected.

Wow, I'd never seen that before - it's now bookmarked! Thanks.

Just a question for Sudokulover:I've just tried UAS,but it doesn't produce the solution even when I limit the answers to Italian,2 words,6-8 letters,so what am I doing wrong?I suspected the anagram for a mathematician from Tony's 1st three words,but would never have got there as a layman!
