Conjecture 1: a(n) > 0 for all n >= 0.
Conjecture 2: Each n = 0,1,... can be written as floor((a^3+b^3)/4) + floor((c^3+d^3)/5) with a,b,c,d nonnegative integers.
Both conjectures have been verified for all n = 0..10^5.
We also conjecture that the pair (4,5) of denominators in Conjecture 2 can be replaced by some other pairs such as (4,6), (5,6), (3,7), (4,7), (5,7), (6,7).

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 2 with 1 = floor((1^3+0^3)/3) + floor((2^3+0^3)/5) = floor((1^3+0^3)/3) + floor((2^3+1^3)/5).
a(17) = 1 with 17 = floor((2^3+1^3)/3) + floor((4^3+2^3)/5).
a(20) = 1 with 20 = floor((2^3+0^3)/3) + floor((4^3+3^3)/5).
a(38) = 1 with 38 = floor((4^3+2^3)/3) + floor((4^3+2^3)/5).
a(103) = 1 with 103 = floor((6^3+4^3)/3) + floor((3^3+3^3)/5).
a(304) = 1 with 304 = floor((2^3+0^3)/3) + floor((10^3+8^3)/5).
