EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 since 1 = 0^2 + 0^2 + 1^2 + 0^2 with 0 + 0 + 2*1 - 4*0 = 2*1^3.
a(3) = 1 since 3 = (-1)^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 0^2 with (-1) + 1 + 2*1 - 4*0 = 2*1^3.
a(13) = 1 since 13 = (-2)^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 1^2 with (-2) + 2 + 2*2 - 4*1 = 2*0^3.
a(16) = 1 since 16 = 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 with 2 + 2 + 2*2 - 4*2 = 2*0^3.
a(26) = 1 since 26 = 3^2 + 3^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 with 3 + 3 + 2*2 - 4*2 = 2*1^3.
a(32) = 1 since 32 = (-4)^2 + 4^2 + 0^2 + 0^2 with (-4) + 4 + 2*0 - 4*0 = 2*0^3.
a(40) = 1 since 40 = (-2)^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 2^2 with (-2) + 4 + 2*4 - 4*2 = 2*1^3.
a(218) = 1 since 218 = (-6)^2 + 6^2 + 11^2 + 5^2 with (-6) + 6 + 2*11 - 4*5 = 2*1^3.
a(416) = 1 since 416 = (-4)^2 + 20^2 + 0^2 + 0^2 with (-4) + 20 + 2*0 - 4*0 = 2*2^3.
a(544) = 1 since 544 = (-4)^2 + 20^2 + 8^2 + 8^2 with (-4) + 20 + 2*8 - 4*8 = 2*0^3.
a(800) = 1 since 800 = (-20)^2 + 20^2 + 0^2 + 0^2 with (-20) + 20 + 2*0 - 4*0 = 2*0^3.
a(1184) = 1 since 1184 = (-28)^2 + 12^2 + 16^2 + 0^2 with (-28) + 12 + 2*16 - 4*0 = 2*2^3.
a(2080) = 1 since 2080 = (-20)^2 + 20^2 + 32^2 + 16^2 with (-20) + 20 + 2*32 - 4*16 = 2*0^3.
a(6304) = 1 since 6304 = (-36)^2 + 36^2 + 56^2 + 24^2 with (-36) + 36 + 2*56 - 4*24 = 2*2^3.
