[#R769] Every coordinate is 2 modulo 3

claim. Cubes modulo nine force each coordinate into one of the residue classes 2, 5, or 8.

1Summary

Cubes modulo 9 have residues \(0,1,8\). Since \[ 114\equiv6\equiv-3\pmod9, \] the three cube residues must all equal \(-1\). Hence every solution satisfies \[ x,y,z\in\{2,5,8\}\pmod9, \] and in particular \[ x\equiv y\equiv z\equiv2\pmod3. \] This is a necessary filter. It supplies no global obstruction because the permitted residue classes exist.

Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: every integer solution of x^3+y^3+z^3=114.
