Conjecture: a(n) = T10 + T15 + T20 + T21 where
T1 = floor(n/16);
T2 = sqrt(2*T1 + 1/4);
T3 = floor(T2 - 1/2);
T4 = n - T3*(T3+1)*16/2;
T5 = (T3+1)*16;
T6 = T4 + (3/4)*T5 - 1;
T7 = T6/T5;
T8 = floor(T7);
T9 = 1 - T8;
T10 = T9 - floor(T4/2);
T11 = T4 + (2/4)*T5 - 1;
T12 = T11/T5;
T13 = floor(T12);
T14 = T8 - T13;
T15 = T14*floor((T5 - T11)/2);
T16 = T4 + (1/4)*T5 - 1;
T17 = T16/T5;
T18 = floor(T17);
T19 = T13 - T18;
T20 = -T19*floor((T4 - T5/2)/2);
T21 = -T18*floor((T5 - T4 + 1)/2).
