trigonometry - Sequences where sumlimitsinftyn=kan=sumlimitsinftyn=ka2n

I was recently looking at the series n=1sinnn, for which the value quite cleanly comes out to be 12(π1), which is a rather cool closed form.




I then wondered what would happen to the value of the series if all the terms in the series were squared.



Turns out... nothing happens!



n=1(sinnn)2=n=1sinnn=12(π1).



This is a rather cool result, and I was wondering if there are any other simple series that share this property? Or, more generalized, series for which raising the terms to the power m yields the same result as raising them to the power p.
