Does this $3\times 3$ matrix exist? Does a real $3\times 3$ matrix $A$ that satisfies conditions $\operatorname{tr}(A)=0$ and $A^2+A^T=I$ ($I$ is an identity matrix) exist?
Thank you for your help.

[Many thanks to user1551 for this contribution.] First, let us show that the eigenvalues of $A$ must be real. The equation $A^2+A^T=I$ implies that
$$A^T=I−A^2 \quad\text{and}\quad (A^T)^2+A=I.$$ Substituting the first equation into the second yields
$$I−2A^2+A^4+A=I \quad\Longrightarrow\quad A^4−2A^2+A=A(A−I)(A^2+A−I)=0.$$
The eigenvalues must therefore satisfy $\lambda(\lambda−1)(\lambda^2+\lambda−1)=0$, which has the roots $\{0,1,(-1+\sqrt{5})/2,(-1-\sqrt{5})2\}$, all real. In fact, we will show that only the last two are possible.
Let $A=QUQ^T$ be the Schur decomposition of $A$, where $Q$ is unitary and $U$ is upper triangular. Because the eigenvalues of $A$ are real, both $Q$ and $U$ are real as well. Then 
$$A^2+A^T=I\quad\Longrightarrow QUQ^TQUQ^T+QU^TQ^T=I\quad\Longrightarrow\quad U^2+U^T=I.$$
$U^2$ is upper triangular, and $U^T$ is lower triangular. The only way it is possible to satisfy the equation is if $U$ is diagonal.
(Alternatively, $A$ commutes with $A^T$ because $A^T=I-A^2$. Therefore $A$ is a normal matrix. Since we have shown that all eigenvalues of $A$ are real, it follows that $A$ is orthogonally diagonalisable as $QUQ^T$ for some real orthogonal matrix $Q$ and real diagonal matrix $U$.)
If $U$ is diagonal, then $A$ was symmetric; and the diagonal elements of $U$ are the eigenvalues of $A$. Each must separately satisfy $\lambda^2+\lambda-1=0$. So $\lambda=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{5}}{2}$. But there are three eigenvalues, so one of them is repeated. There is no way for the resulting sum to be zero.
Since the sum of the eigenvalues is equal to $\mathop{\textrm{Tr}}(A)$, this is a contradiction.
EDIT: I'm going to add that it does not matter that the matrix is $3\times 3$. There is no square matrix of any size that satisfies the conditions put forth. There is no way to choose $n>0$ values from the set $\{(-1+\sqrt{5})/2,(-1-\sqrt{5})/2\}$ that have a zero sum.
