Five people were found in a room, one that was a complete mess. E and C both had paint on their clothes, B and C were shorter and D, E and A were about the same height. While trying to figure out what happened you realized you never found out the order which everyone came in. They tell you the following:
A: ... one of the shorter ones came in third. B: The one who came in before me was not my height. C: My clothes were stained earlier and had nothing to do with this. I arrived last. D: People with stained clothes were ahead of me and behind me. E: There was someone ahead of me when I arrived. A little one trailed behind me.
Assuming they're all telling the truth, what order did they come in?"
