Thanks for breaking that down for me.
I guess, to me, a programmer logician not a mathematician logician, the real problem for me here is the definition of "liar" as it applies to how we parse the problem statement's facts.
(other systems of logic exist which will attempt to resolve this. Forcing such statements to be false makes things much trickier formally, as does e.g. three-valued logic to try to avoid assigning truth or falsity to such statements)
