Problem Statement

An algal cell population is found to have aka_k cells on day kk. Each day, the number of cells at least doubles. If a01a_0 \ge 1 and a360a_3 \le 60, how many quadruples of integers (a0,a1,a2,a3)(a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3) could represent the algal cell population size on the first 44 days?
