In their paper [ibid. 276, 323-340 (1987; Zbl 0624.57013)], \textit{M. Boileau}, \textit{F. Gonzalez-Acuña} and \textit{J. M. Montesinos} posed the question: Do there exist knots with no nontrivial symmetries which yield manifolds which are two-fold branched covers of the 3-sphere by nontrivial Dehn surgery. This question is answered in this paper by using techniques from hyperbolic geometry to construct an infinite family of knots with the required property.
