Comments on the clue

1.	Undevilled version a little too unnatural
2.	or who is told a lie? (are told?)
3.	A nice idea but "or is told a lie" in the undevilled version makes no sense
4.	Would have liked this better if undevilled text had been more grammatical

Comments on the competition
1.
Undevilled versions should not be compromised in any waay to improve the devilled version, eg an initially promising 5, 8, 11, 17, etc.
