%N Number of ordered ways to write n as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with 2*x + y - z a nonnegative cube, where x,y,z,w are nonnegative integers with y <= z.
%C Conjecture: (i) For each c = 1, 2, 4 and n = 0,1,2,..., we can write n as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with c*(2x+y-z) a nonnegative cube, where x,y,z,w are nonnegative integers with y <= z.
%C (ii) Each n = 0,1,2,.... can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x-y+z a nonnegative cube, where x,y,z,w are integers with x >= y >= 0 and x >= |z|.
%C The author proved in arXiv:1604.06723 that for each a = 1, 2 any natural number can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w integers such that x + y + a*z is a cube.
%C See also A273458 for a similar conjecture.
