If two or more thoughts intersect with each other, then there has to be a point.

ZHero,
You haven't really shown that (N+2)^2 = 0, only that (N+2)^2 is divisible by 9.
Hence N must be one of 1,4,7 and you'll have to do something else to decide which.

I just did my calculation above and got (N+2)^2=0.
I mean, I don't Want to Show that (N+2)^2=0.
I just want to know what information does (N+2)^2=0 hold??

Re: Please Explain...
When you replace numbers by their digit sums and cast out nines you are essentially considering two numbers to be the same if they have the same remainder when divided by 9.
I would write rather that when I am doing this. Hence we have
We cannot now deduce that
since 0 has three square roots modulo 9. These are 0, 3 and 6 so we have
and since I'm biased against negative numbers
