%N Number of ways to write n as a*(a+1)/2 + b*(b+1)/2 + 2^c*5^(3d) with a,b,c,d nonnegative integers.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 0. Equivalently, any positive integer n can be written as a^2 + b*(b+1) + 2^c*5^(3d) with a,b,c,d nonnegative integers.

%C This was motivated by A308584, and we verified a(n) > 0 for all n = 1..2*10^8. Then, on the author's request, _Giovanni Resta_ verified the above conjecture for n up to 10^10. G. Resta also noted that 7272774228 cannot be written as a*(a+1)/2 + b*(b+1)/2 + 2^c*250^d with a,b,c,d nonnegative integers.

%C See also A308566, A308584 and A308623 for similar conjectures.
