See also A270566 for a similar conjecture involving four powers.
It is known that any positive integer can be written as the sum of a triangular number, a square and an odd square.

a(24) = 1 since 24 = 5*6/2 + 3^2 + (0*(3*0-1)/2)^2.
a(468) = 1 since 468 = 0*1/2 + 18^2 + (3*(3*3-1)/2)^2.
a(7538) = 1 since 7538 = 64*65/2 + 47^2 + (6*(3*6+1)/2)^2.
a(7731) = 1 since 7731 = 82*83/2 + 62^2 + (4*(3*4-1)/2)^2.
a(8522) = 1 since 8522 = 127*128/2 + 13^2 + (3*(3*3+1)/2)^2.
a(14763) = 1 since 14763 = 164*165/2 + 33^2 + (3*(3*3-1)/2)^2.
a(16222) = 1 since 16222 = 168*169/2 + 45^2 + (1*(3*1-1)/2)^2.
a(17143) = 1 since 17143 = 182*183/2 + 21^2 + (2*(3*2+1)/2)^2.
a(24958) = 1 since 24958 = 216*217/2 + 39^2 + (1*(3*1-1)/2)^2.
