Find all positive integers n which make the expression below an integer:

(25/2 + (625/4 - n)^½ )^½ + (25/2 - (625/4 - n)^½ )^½

Will pcbouhid step forth with his solution and comments on his problem and this thread.  The discussion of operations on imaginary numbers beg some questions, I believe. Ah well, 'tis the weekend and as the ditty goes, We're here because we're here because we're here because we're here ...
