Hey Matthew. I have a request. I know that, after we enter 24 answers, it says below the grid if they're all correct. I'm wondering if might be possible for that message to say WHICH answers are wrong, if any. If we have any wrong, it's not hard for us to suss out which ones are wrong: just go to a day, change the answer for that day, and see if the count of incorrect answers changes. That's not hard to do, but it's tedious. So I figured I'd check if the message could do that work for us. No problem if not, but figured I'd ask!

PS. Trying to wrap my head around the clue on the 23rd. Its logic is messing with my brain.

@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.

@Seth Cohen: I made it give you some clues as to which are incorrect to make the search easier, which should speed up the checking a lot. You can also refresh a couple of times to get a few clues.
