"Tuesday, if you remember Monday's wake-up" - You have no memory of Monday's interrogation because you are memory wiped.

Memory-wiped in the tails case, but not in the heads-heads case, right? If it's heads-heads, you're woken on Monday and nothing happens on Tuesday, so you presumably remember that you were woken and interrogated yesterday.

You are interrogated on Monday, so what happens on Tuesday is irrelevant to the problem for heads-heads. All that matters is what you say when you are being interogated

Probably doesn't matter how you phrase the handling of Monday night if there's no Tuesday interrogation. If you're interrogated on Tuesday, you know it wasn't heads-heads.
