8d: ?????A??

Any hints/clues will be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance. By the way, I got 22a quite early and "nearest" seemed to be the closest answer though I found the meaning to be somewhat contrived!

Thanks, all, for the helpful hints/clues. I still have a few to solve and only wish I could fathom the title! Mampara, I did not see your numbers hint and would be happy to get it! I did see Kayakamina's advice, though, about not confusing the title numbers 23 & 56 which do not mean what they say...Was your number hint the same thing? Any help in this area will be greatly appreciated as always. Many thanks!
