Abstract
Call a monic integer polynomial exceptional if it has a root modulo all but a finite number of primes, but does not have an integer root. We classify all irreducible monic integer polynomials for which there is an irreducible monic quadratic such that the product is exceptional. We construct exceptional polynomials with all factors of the form , prime and square free.
