Then would it be reasonable to assume that there is a lie somewhere?

[Or maybe that in itself is the lie. Or it simply could be one of those puzzles that was designed to make you overthink and thus miss the obvious. After all, Zacharie's half was not that complex.

But for now they only had 'liar' and that the number 1 wasn't the first in the sequence. Zacharie attempts to work out any other messages as it's presented and comes up with nothing.]

I also have to assume that the messages do not line up so nicely all the time.
