Let \(n\) be an integer. A set of positive integers \(\{a_1,a_2,\dots ,a_m\}\) is said to have the property \(D(n)\) if \(a_ia_j+n\) is a perfect square for all \(1\leq i\leq j\leq m\). Such a set is called a Diophantine \(m\)-tuple. It is proved that there do not exist different positive integers \(c,d > 1\) such that the product of any two distinct elements of the set \(\{1,10,c,d\}\) diminished by 1 is a perfect square; in other words: \(m = 4, n = -1\) or a \(D(-1)-4\)-tuple.
