42 = 56 - 4 - 0! - 3 - 6
42 = 5 x 6 + 4 - 0! + 3 + 6
42 = (56 - 40) x 3 - 6

Are these possible valid entries?

The second certainly, the other two depends on how 'strict' you are.

Try also (-5+6)*(4+0+3)*6 = 42

Or you could use
(5+6-4-0*3)*6
56/4*(0-3+6)
5+64^0+36
(5-6+4+0)!+36

or maybe the simple no-bracket:
5+6+40-3-6
