Problem Statement

In a directed graph with 20132013 vertices, there is exactly one edge between any two vertices and for every vertex there exists an edge outwards this vertex. We know that whatever the arrangement of the edges, from every vertex we can reach kk vertices using at most two edges. Find the maximum value of kk.
