%e a(4) = 1 since 4 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 with 1 - 1 = 0^2 and 3*1 + 1 = 2^2.

%e a(12) = 1 since 12 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + (-3)^2 with 1 - 1 = 0^2 and 3*1 + (-3) = 0^2.

%e a(19) = 1 since 19 = 3^2 + 3^2 + 0^2 + 1^2 with 3 - 3 = 0^2 and 3*0 + 1 = 1^2.

%e a(20) = 1 since 20 = 3^2 + 3^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 with 3 - 3 = 0^2 and 3*1 + 1 = 2^2.

%e a(22) = 1 since 22 = 3^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 0^2 with 3 - 2 = 1^2 and 3*3 + 0 = 3^2.

%e a(46) = 1 since 46 = 5^2 + 4^2 + 1^2 + (-2)^2 with 5 - 4 = 1^2 and 3*1 + (-2) = 1^2.

%e a(68) = 1 since 68 = 7^2 + 3^2 + 1^2 + (-3)^2 with 7 - 3 = 2^2 and 3*1 + (-3) = 0^2.
