Fatima and Asma are playing the following game. First, Fatima chooses $2013$ pairwise different numbers, called $a_1, a_2, ..., a_{2013}$. Then, Asma tries to know the value of each number $a_1, a_2, ..., a_{2013}$.. At each time, Asma chooses $1 \le i < j \le 2013$ and asks Fatima ''What is the set $\{a_i,a_j\}$?'' (For example, if Asma asks what is the set $\{a_i,a_j\}$, and $a_1 = 17$ and $a_2 = 13$, Fatima will answer $\{13. 17\}$). Find the least number of questions Asma needs to ask, to know the value of all the numbers $a_1, a_2, ..., a_{2013}$.
