Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for any nonnegative integer n, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 0, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 29, 33, 34, 48, 68, 113, 129, 220.
Let a,b,c,d,e,f be nonnegative integers with a > b, c > d, e > f, a == b (mod 2), c == d (mod 2), e == f (mod 2), a >= c >= e >= 2, b >= d if a = c, and d >= f if c = e. We have shown in arXiv:1502.03056 that if the ordered tuple (a,b,c,d,e,f) is universal, i.e., each n = 0,1,2,... can be written as x(ax+b)/2 + y(cy+d)/2 + z(ez+f)/2 with x,y,z integers, then (a,b,c,d,e,f) must be among the 12082 tuples listed in the linked a-file. We also conjecture that all the listed tuples not yet proved to be universal are indeed universal. Note that those numbers x(4x+2)/2 with x integral coincide with triangular numbers.

EXAMPLE
a(33) = 1 since 33 = 4^2 + 15*1^2 + 1*(3*1+1)/2.
a(34) = 1 since 34 = 2^2 + 15*1^2 + 3*(3*3+1)/2.
a(48) = 1 since 48 = 6^2 + 15*0^2 + (-3)*(3*(-3)+1)/2.
a(68) = 1 since 68 = 1^2 + 15*2^2 + 2*(2*3+1)/2.
a(113) = 1 since 113 = 6^2 + 15*0^2 + 7*(3*7+1)/2.
a(129) = 1 since 129 = 8^2 + 15*2^2 + (-2)*(3*(-2)+1)/2.
a(220) = 1 since 220 = 13^2 + 15*0^2 + 6*(3*6+1)/2.
