Problem Statement

Elfs and trolls are seated at a round table, 60 creatures in total. Trolls always lie, and all elfs always speak the truth, except when they make a little mistake. Everybody claims to sit between an elf and a troll, but exactly two elfs made a mistake! How many trolls are there at this table?
