    Two trees with ten vertices are presented. Both of them have characteristic polynomial insolvable by radicals. This result answers the seventh open problem in the book ''Spectra of Graphs'' (1982; Zbl 0458.05042), raised by \textit{D. M. Cvetkovic}, \textit{M. Doob} and \textit{H. Sachs}. In the paper ''The minimal graphs with characteristic polynomial insolvable by radicals'' [Kexue Tongbao, Foreign Lang. Ed. 30, 1299-1302 (1985)] the author presents two graphs of six vertices with the same property.
