For \( x \in (1, 2) \), prove that there exists a unique sequence of positive integers \( \{ x_i \} \) such that \( x_{i+1} \geq x_i^2 \) and
\[
x = \prod_{i=1}^{\infty} (1 + \frac{1}{x_i}).

Is it possible to color all lattice points (\(\mathbb Z\times \mathbb Z\)) in the plane into two colors such that if four distinct points \( (a,b), (a+c,b), (a,b+d), (a+c,b+d)\) have the same color, then \( d/c\notin \{1,2,3,4,6\}\)?
