Have no idea,don't have a clue?

1 He doesn't have a clue about the meaning of the word "mercy".

2 He has no idea what the word "mercy" means.

3 A- What color is the Irish flag?B- I have no idea.

4 A-what color is the Irish flag? B-I don't have a clue.

In the first two sentences, I'm trying to say that he is so "thoughtless" and "selfish" he doesn't care about anobody.

In the last two sentences,I'm trying to say that I simply don't know the answer to the question.

How can I make them sound idiomatic in English?
