%N Number of ordered pairs (x,y) with x >= 0 and y > 0 such that n - x^4 - y*(y+1)/2 is a pentagonal number (A000326) or twice a pentagonal number.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 0, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 1, 10, 35, 75, 134, 415, 515, 1465, 2365, 3515, 4140.

%H Zhi-Wei Sun, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s11425-015-4994-4">On universal sums of polygonal numbers</a>, Sci. China Math. 58(2015), no. 7, 1367-1396.

%e a(1) = 1 since 1 = 0^4 + 1*2/2 + p_5(0), where p_5(n) denotes the pentagonal number n*(3*n-1)/2.

%e a(10) = 1 since 10 = 0^4 + 4*5/2 + p_5(0).

%e a(35) = 1 since 35 = 1^4 + 4*5/2 + 2*p_5(3).

%e a(75) = 1 since 75 = 2^4 + 5*6/2 + 2*p_5(4).

%e a(134) = 1 since 134 = 2^4 + 1*2/2 + p_5(9).

%e a(415) = 1 since 415 = 0^4 + 21*22/2 + 2*p_5(8).

%e a(515) = 1 since 515 = 0^4 + 6*7/2 + 2*p_5(13).

%e a(1465) = 1 since 1465 = 5^4 + 35*36/2 + p_5(12).

%e a(2365) = 1 since 2365 = 5^4 + 8*9/2 + 2*p_5(24).

%e a(3515) = 1 since 3515 = 5^4 + 51*52/2 + 2*p_5(23).

%e a(4140) = 1 since 4140 = 1^4 + 90*91/2 + 2*p_5(4).

%t PenQ[n_]:=IntegerQ[Sqrt[24n+1]]&&(n==0||Mod[Sqrt[24n+1]+1,6]==0)
