    [This answer](http://math.stackexchange.com/a/72661/12042), as corrected a few months ago, gives a complete proof of the second identity. It’s a more understandable version of the proof in the Sved article in the *Math. Intelligencer* mentioned [here](http://math.stackexchange.com/a/37984/12042).2012-10-15
