CCCC: For Bernardo Recamán Santos, indeed 10=4+2. (3)
Jafe
Jafe
this has to be the lair equivalent of a diss track
yes in portuguese is "sim" but i don't see how that's the answer here
no wait i'm wrong, bernardo's actually colombian

As a fellow Aussie I am pleased to see this puzzle. Had me quite confused for a while though :) — Dmitry Kamenetsky Mar 9 at 3:22

CCCC: For Stiv, even Sesame Street's complex? (2)
Jafe
Jafe
hah
msh210
msh210
(not the best clue, but best I could think of to continue the theme)
Jafe
Jafe
08:23
think it's _t_v
msh210
msh210
@Jafe so do I
like I said, not the best clue — specifically, not the best definition. But I think it's valid, if you consider "an intricate or complicated association or assemblage of related things, parts, units, etc.: the entire complex of our educational system" (Collins)
Jafe
Jafe
yeah makes sense
msh210
msh210
08:49
(tbh "for 'Stiv', even" as the wordplay is weak too)

CCCC: To M Oehm, no one intentionally rings (4)
grammar might be questionable but what are you gonna do, call the grammar police?
msh210
msh210
picks up the phone
Jafe
Jafe
but not to ring M Oehm
msh210
msh210
not on purpose, at least
@Jafe _ne in_

Hm… I'd thought this C4 would go quite quickly. If no one catches it soonish, I'll post an early hint.

The cipher tag bronze badge was a first for codewarrior0, but that's too many words. And "bronze" or "cipher" by itself doesn't really apply.
Jafe
Jafe
14:01
i don't think it's anything that obscure if msh210 thought it'd go quickly
msh210
msh210
the definition is definitely not obscure; the wordplay may be harder to catch
