Problem Statement

1010 cities are connected by one-way air routes in a way so that each city can be reached from any other by several connected flights. Let nn be the smallest number of flights needed for a tourist to visit every city and return to the starting city. Clearly nn depends on the flight schedule. Find the largest nn and the corresponding flight schedule.
