Surely the word count given in Q56 should be (6,3) not (5,4)

We can't comment if we do not have the question.

I gave you the question. It is number 56.
If you want it in full here it is:
"No, I claim a dubious person who wrote of this solidly constructed way".
The word count is given as (5,4) when it should be (6,3).

The answer is definitely 5,4.

You're on the right track but read the clue more carefully. The answer is 5,4.

This clue has been dealt with previously.
You are looking for an anagram to give the author's name who wrote about the answer.
And as Malone has just confirmed, it is definitely (5,4)

Thanks elle and escher and malone. I have now read it properly and understand my mistake.
I would be grateful for any steer on the following.
6 Phones number before going to the old meeting place for criminals
17 ... but doctor thrashed the designer
42 There must be good communication here - with a garden in the sky
47 Compiler took ride ignoring the last Scotsman on this line
57 Ask about Norm, the triskaidekaphobia's cat, at the 'vegetable hotel'
87 18 + 34 + 7 + 13 = RA

Glad you've got it sorted, quocunque.

The clue with the list of numbers has had at least six massive 'hints' already. There's plenty of discussion on the very long A-Z thread. All your other clues have had additional clues/'hints' given too.

It is long but if you look through carefully you will hints given for the questions you've asked.

Thanks both for the heads up.
I'll start trawling.
