See figure attached for problem statement.

I tried to draw a timing diagram for this, but I wasn't sure what was going to happen at the first positive edge of the clock.

Inputs of both flip flops are dependent on the outputs of the other flip flop.

So how do I decide the first outcome after one positive edge of the clock? There must be some assumptions I'm allowed to make that I'm missing.

I think if I got the first pulse down I could manage with the rest.

Any ideas?

First use clear input to reset the circuit and the "apply" the clock.
So after the reset Q1 = 0 and Q0 = 0
So J of a first FF0 is in 1 state
And my answer is this

So how would we "describe" the functional behaviour of this circuit?

Is it enough to just give a timing diagram?
