question

On a square table of 2011 by 2011 cells we place a finite number of napkins that each cover a square of 52 by 52 cells. In each cell we write the number of napkins covering it, and we record the maximal number kk of cells that all contain the same nonzero number. Considering all possible napkin configurations, what is the largest value of kk ?
