Drew is obviously a liar of sorts, but there isn't enough info to solve the problem. There is a few possibilities. Mohammud could either be a liar or tell the truth. If the statement were in two sentences like this, Mohammud is a liar, I am a liar, then the mohammud part becomes solvable assuming they either have to lie or tell the truth both. Since drew has to lie and tell the truth both in order to get away with saying I am a liar, this still puts Mohammuds honesty in question. I love paradoxes.
