A187785 Number of ways to write n=x+y (x,y>=0) with {6x-1,6x+1} a twin prime pair and y a triangular number 2

%C Conjecture: a(n)>0 for all n>48624 not equal to 76106.

%C We have verified this for n up to 2*10^8. It seems that 723662 is the unique n>76106 which really needs y=0 in the described representation.

%C Compare the conjecture with another Sun's conjecture associated with A132399.
