What is the riddle?
Statement 5 is false by the way...

O sorry, the riddle is, Is Mary a Nurse or not?

Umm...
Mary may or may not be a Nurse.
When 5 is false and 6 is true, Statements 1 becomes true, and 3 becomes false. So the truth values now are
1 - T
3 - F
5 - F
6 - T

Now 2 may be T or F, which implies 4 may be T or F.
Are you sure you're not missing anything else out?
