The difference is that the whiteboard formula is actually called the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality, not the Bell inequality, and it is a slightly more sophisticated version, concocted by the four physicists it is named after, five years
The first two numbers were 0.56 and 0.82. The third was –0.59, so it seems I would have to take this way from the running total. The fourth number, another 0.56, should then have left me with a total of 1.35 and victory for Einstein.<p>That’s not what I showed.

The inequality read:<p>P(a,b) + P(a,b’) – P(a’,b’) + P(a’,b) ≤ 2,<p>So, plugging all the numbers, this looks like:<p>0.56 + 0.82 – (–0.59) + 0.56
= 0.56 + 0.82 + 0.59 + 0.56 = 2.53<p>So, sorry Einstein, victory goes to Bohr instead.
