As Captain Klot stepped out of his spacecraft, he was welcomed by five Tiddlybons, the residents of Sigma 2. Knowing that the population had a precise hierarchy, Klot asked five questions to try to discover their ranking order. To help identify them, he stuck a letter on each one. Then he asked : Was A higher than C? Was B higher than E? Was C higher than D? Was D higher than B? Was E higher than A? For each question, the second (letter) mentioned whispered a "yes" or "no" to the first (letter) mentioned who reported "yes" or "no" to Klot. However, exactly two of the five lied consistently, both in whispering and reporting answers. If all had given truthful answers, their order would have been completely determined. However, precisely two reported answers did not correspond to the true hierarchy. The reported answers were "no", "no", "yes", "no", "no", respectively. The only Tiddlybon Klot could be sure to trust reported a correct answer. What was their ranking order and who lied?
