Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 0, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 39, 47, 95, 543, 4^k*m (k = 0,1,2,... and m = 1, 3, 7, 15, 23, 135, 183).
(ii) Any natural number can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers such that (a*x+b*y)^2 + (c*z)^2 is a square, whenever (a,b,c) is among the triples (1,2,4), (1,2,12), (1,4,8), (1,4,12), (1,10,20), (1,15,12), (2,7,20), (2,7,60), (2,21,60), (3,3,4), (3,3,40), (3,4,12), (3,5,60), (3,6,20), (3,9,20), (3,11,24), (3,12,8), (3,27,20), (3,27,56), (3,29,60), (3,30,28), (3,45,20), (4,4,3), (4,4,5), (4,4,9), (4,4,15), (4,8,5), (4,12,15), (4,12,21), (4,12,45), (4,16,45), (4,19,40), (4,20,21), (4,36,21), (4,36,33), (4,52,63), (5,5,8), (5,5,12), (5,5,24), (5,6,12), (5,8,24), (5,10,4), (5,15,24), (5,25,16), (5,30,12), (5,35,48), (5,40,24), (6,10,15), (6,15,28), (6,45,28), (7,7,20), (7,7,24), (7,21,12), (7,63,36), (8,8,15), (8,12,45), (8,16,35), (8,16,45), (8,32,15), (8,32,21), (8,48,45), (9,9,40), (9,18,28), (9,27,16), (9,45,20), (10,15,12), (10,25,28), (11,11,60), (12,12,5), (12,12,35), (12,20,63), (12,60,55).
