Let $A$ and $B$ be points on a circle $\mathcal{C}$ with center $O$ such that $\angle AOB = \dfrac {\pi}2$. Circles $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ are internally tangent to $\mathcal{C}$ at $A$ and $B$ respectively and are also externally tangent to one another.

We define the sets $A_1,A_2,...,A_{160}$ such that $\left|A_{i} \right|=i$ for all $i=1,2,...,160$. With the elements of these sets we create new sets $M_1,M_2,...M_n$ by the following procedure: in the first step we choose some of the sets $A_1,A_2,...,A_{160}$ and we remove from each of them the same number of elements. These elements that we removed are the elements of $M_1$. In the second step we repeat the same procedure in the sets that came of the implementation of the first step and so we define $M_2$. We continue similarly until there are no more elements in $A_1,A_2,...,A_{160}$, thus defining the sets $M_1,M_2,...,M_n$. Find the minimum value of $n$.
