Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n. Also, a(n) = 1 only for n = 0, 49.
(ii) Any nonnegative integer not equal to 18 can be written as x*(x+1)/2 + y*(3*y+1) + z*(3*z-1) with x,y,z nonnegative integers.
See also the comments of A254573 for a similar conjecture. We have proved that any nonnegative integer can be written as x*(x+1)/2 + y*(3*y+1)/2 + z*(3*z-1)/2 with x,y,z integers.
Note that Zhi-Wei Sun conjectured in 2009 (cf. Conjecture 1.10 of arXiv:0905.0635) that every n = 0,1,... can be expressed as the sum of a triangular number and two pentagonal numbers.

EXAMPLE

a(14) = 2 since 14 = 0*1/2 + 1*(3*1+1)/2 + 3*(3*3-1)/2 = 3*4/2 + 2*(3*2+1)/2 + 1*(3*1-1)/2.
a(49) = 1 since 49 = 1*2/2 + 4*(3*4+1)/2 + 4*(3*4-1)/2.
