There is an infinitely tall tetrahedral stack of spheres where each row of the tetrahedron consists of a triangular arrangement of spheres, as shown below. There is $1$ sphere in the top row (which we will call row $0$), $3$ spheres in row $1$, $6$ spheres in row $2$, $10$ spheres in row $3$, etc. The top-most sphere in row $0$ is assigned the number $1$. We then assign each other sphere the sum of the number(s) assigned to the sphere(s) which touch it in the row directly above it. Find a simplified expression in terms of $n$ for the sum of the numbers assigned to each sphere from row $0$ to row $n$.

(b) Find the largest possible size of a very set not contained in any line. (Here, an [i]inversion[/i] with center $O$ and radius $r$ sends every point $P$ other than $O$ to the point $P'$ along ray $OP$ such that $OP\cdot OP' = r^2$.) [i]Proposed by Sammy Luo[/i]
