The numbers $a_1, a_2, ..., a_n$ are equal to $1$ or $-1$. Prove that $$2 \sin \left(a_1+\frac{a_1a_2}{2}+\frac{a_1a_2a_3}{4}+...+\frac{a_1a_2...a_n}{2^{n-1}}\right)\frac{\pi}{4}=a_1\sqrt{2+a_2\sqrt{2+a_3\sqrt{2+...+a_n\sqrt2}}}$$ In particular, for $a_1 = a_2 = ... = a_n = 1$ we have $$2 \sin \left(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+...+\frac{1}{2^{n-1}}\right)\frac{\pi}{4}=2\cos \frac{\pi}{2^{n+1}}= \sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+...+\sqrt2}}}$$

For a positive integer $n$, a [i]sum-friendly odd partition[/i] of $n$ is a sequence $(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k)$ of odd positive integers with $a_1 \le a_2 \le \cdots \le a_k$ and $a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_k = n$ such that for all positive integers $m \le n$, $m$ can be [b]uniquely[/b] written as a subsum $m = a_{i_1} + a_{i_2} + \cdots + a_{i_r}$. (Two subsums $a_{i_1} + a_{i_2} + \cdots + a_{i_r}$ and $a_{j_1} + a_{j_2} + \cdots + a_{j_s}$ with $i_1 < i_2 < \cdots < i_r$ and $j_1 < j_2 < \cdots < j_s$ are considered the same if $r = s$ and $a_{i_l} = a_{j_l}$ for $1 \le l \le r$.) For example, $(1, 1, 3, 3)$ is a sum-friendly odd partition of $8$. Find the number of sum-friendly odd partitions of $9999$.

Circles \(\mathcal{C}_1\) and \(\mathcal{C}_2\) with centers at \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) respectively, intersect at two points \(A\) and \(B\). Points \(P\) and \(Q\) are varying points on \(\mathcal{C}_1\) and \(\mathcal{C}_2\), respectively, such that \(P\), \(Q\) and \(B\) are collinear and \(B\) is always between \(P\) and \(Q\).

Show that as \(P\) and \(Q\) vary, \(S\) traces the arc of a circle whose center is concyclic with \(A\), \(C_1\) and \(C_2\).
