If Q1’s answer was A, this tells us that Q2’s answer is B, which tells us Q3’s is D, which tells us Q4’s answer is B, which tells us Q1’s answer is C – contradiction.

If Q1’s answer was B, this tells us that Q2’s answer is A, which tells us Q3’s is C, which tells us Q4’s answer is C, which tells us Q1’s answer is A – contradiction.

If Q1’s answer was C, this tells us that Q2’s answer is D, which tells us Q3’s is A, which tells us Q4’s answer is D, which tells us Q1’s answer is B – contradiction.

If Q1’s answer was D, this tells us that Q2’s answer is C, which tells us Q3’s is B, which tells us Q4’s answer is A, which tells us Q1’s answer is D – correct answer.
