Sir a very nice explanation, again !. :-)
good one ...+1
If w is a solution of the equation w 2 + w + 1 = 0 , then multiplying both sides of the equation by ( w − 1 ) we get the equation that w 3 − 1 = 0 , or, equivalently, w 3 = 1 , and therefore w 3 k = 1 . Then w 1 9 9 9 + w 2 0 0 0 = w 3 ( 6 6 6 ) w + w 3 ( 6 6 6 ) w 2 = w + w 2 = − 1 .
x 2 + x + 1 = 0
x + 1 = − x 2 . . . . . ( 1 )
x = 2 − 1 ± 3 i = e ± 3 2 π
x 1 9 9 9 + x 2 0 0 0 = x 1 9 9 9 ( x + 1 ) = x 1 9 9 9 ( − x ) 2 ....... from(1)
= − x 2 0 0 1 = − e ± 3 2 π ∗ 2 0 0 1 = − e ± 1 3 3 4 π = − 1
This is how I did it. +1
x 2 + x + 1 = 0 ⇒ ( x − 1 ) ( x 2 + x + 1 ) = 0 ⇒ x 3 = 1 This means: x 1 9 9 9 + x 2 0 0 0 = x 1 9 9 8 ( x 2 + x ) = ( x 3 ) a ⋅ − 1 = 1 ⋅ − 1 = − 1

Combining @Chew-Seong Cheong and @Akash Shukla 's solutions
x 2 + x + 1 = 0 x 3 + x 2 + x = 0 x 3 + x 2 + x + 1 = 1 x 3 = 1
x 2 + x + 1 = 0 ⟹ x + 1 = − x 2
x 2 0 0 0 + x 1 9 9 9 = x 1 9 9 9 ( x + 1 ) = x 1 9 9 9 ( − x 2 ) = − x 2 0 0 1 = − ( x 3 ) 6 6 7 = − 1 6 6 7 = − 1
Alternate method (the method I used):
x 2 0 0 0 + x 1 9 9 9 = x 2 0 0 0 + x 1 9 9 9 + x 1 9 9 8 − x 1 9 9 8 = x 1 9 9 8 ( x 2 + x + 1 ) − x 1 9 9 8 = − x 1 9 9 8 = − x 1 9 9 8 − x 1 9 9 7 − x 1 9 9 6 + x 1 9 9 7 + x 1 9 9 6 = − x 1 9 9 6 ( x 2 + x + 1 ) + x 1 9 9 7 + x 1 9 9 6 = x 1 9 9 7 + x 1 9 9 6 = x 1 9 9 7 + x 1 9 9 6 + x 1 9 9 5 − x 1 9 9 5 = x 1 9 9 5 ( x 2 + x + 1 ) − x 1 9 9 5 = − x 1 9 9 5 = − x 1 9 9 5 − x 1 9 9 4 − x 1 9 9 3 + x 1 9 9 4 + x 1 9 9 3 = − x 1 9 9 3 ( x 2 + x + 1 ) + x 1 9 9 4 + x 1 9 9 3 = x 1 9 9 4 + x 1 9 9 3
Notice that x 2 0 0 0 + x 1 9 9 9 = x 1 9 9 7 + x 1 9 9 6 = x 1 9 9 4 + x 1 9 9 3 = …
From this, we can infer that x n + x n − 1 = x n − 3 + x n − 4 = x n − 6 + x n − 7 = …
We notice that the powers form an AP: 2 0 0 0 , 1 9 9 7 , 1 9 9 4 , …
Now, we look for the smallest positive term for this AP
2 0 0 0 + ( n − 1 ) ( − 3 ) ≥ 0 2 0 0 3 − 3 n ≥ 0 3 n ≤ 2 0 0 3 n ≤ 3 2 0 0 3 = 6 6 7 3 2
The smallest positive term = 2 0 0 0 + ( 6 6 7 − 1 ) ( − 3 ) = 2
From this, we know that x 2 0 0 0 + x 1 9 9 9 = x 2 + x = − 1
x^{2}+x+1=0 => x = ω , ω^{2} \newline x^{1999} + x^{2000} = ω + ω^{2} = -1

x 2 + x + 1 ⟹ x 3 + x 2 + x x 3 + x 2 + x + 1 ⟹ x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 . . . ⟹ x k ⟹ x 1 9 9 9 + x 2 0 0 0 = 0 Multiplying x both sides = 0 Adding 1 both sides = 1 Note that x 2 + x + 1 = 0 = 1 = x = x 2 = 1 = . . . = x k m o d 3 = x + x 2 Note that x 2 + x + 1 = 0 = − 1
