Twelve men are in a room, some of them always tell lies, while the others always tell the truth.

The first man says: "None of us is a truthteller."
The second man says: "At most one of us is a truthteller."
The third man says: "At most two of us are truthtellers."
...
The twelfth and last man says: "At most eleven of us are truthtellers."

Who are the liars?

Hint:

It's OK to use trial and error, however, there might exist better methods.
