COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.
We have verified a(n) > 0 for n = 2..10^7.
Conjecture verified up to 10^10. - Giovanni Resta, Apr 18 2021
EXAMPLE
a(2) = 1 with 2 = 0^6 + 0^3 + 0*(3*0+1)/2 + 2^1.
a(175) = 2 with 175 = 1^6 + 3^3 + (-10)*(3*(-10)+1)/2 + 2^1 = 2^6 + 4^3 + 3*(3*3+1)/2 + 2^5.
a(14553) = 1 with 14553 = 2^6 + 17^3 + (-80)*(3*(-80)+1)/2 + 2^4.
