%N Number of ordered pairs (x,y) with x >= 0 and y > 0 such that n - x^4 - y*(y+1)/2 has the form z^2 or 8*z^2.

%C Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 0, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 1, 9, 13, 89, 449, 524, 1049, 2164, 14969, 51334.

%C (ii) For any positive integer n, there are integers x and y > 0 such that n - x^4 - T(y) has the form T(z) or 4*T(z), where T(k) refers to the triangular number k*(k+1)/2.

%C (iii) For every n = 1,2,3,... there are integers x and y > 0 such that n - x^4 - T(y) has the form T(z) or 2*z^2.

%C (iv) For {c,d} = {1,2} and n > 0, there are integers x and y > 0 such that n - 2*x^4 - T(y) has the form c*T(z) or d*z^2.

%C (v) For each n = 1,2,3,... there are integers x and y > 0 such that n - 4*x^4 - T(y) has the form 2*T(z) or z^2.

%e a(1) = 1 since 1 = 0^4 + 1*2/2 + 0^2.

%e a(9) = 1 since 9 = 0^4 + 1*2/2 + 8*1^2.

%e a(13) = 1 since 13 = 1^4 + 2*3/2 + 3^2.

%e a(89) = 1 since 89 = 2^4 + 1*2/2 + 8*3^2.

%e a(449) = 1 since 449 = 0^4 + 22*23/2 + 14^2.

%e a(524) = 1 since 524 = 3^4 + 29*30/2 + 8*1^2.

%e a(1049) = 1 since 1049 = 5^4 + 16*17/2 + 8*6^2.

%e a(2164) = 1 since 2164 = 1^4 + 34*35/2 + 8*14^2.

%e a(14969) = 1 since 14969 = 8^4 + 145*146/2 + 8*6^2.

%e a(51334) = 1 since 51334 = 5^4 + 313*314/2 + 8*14^2.
