@Seth Cohen: Consider a truth table covering the four T/F combinations. Which one is consistent?

This clue is a really clever anchor for establishing some truths (I mean, could you trust a clue that says "x clue is true"?). The single consistent solution is really clever. Thanks Matthew, this was a fun challenge.
