EPR experiment in Good And Real?

Has anyone worked out the EPR experiment example in Chapter 4 of Eric Drescher's Good and Real? I can't seem to make it work out right.

Sounds potentially interesting, but I currently do not have the book do you mind posting the problem?

Google Books has it in preview form (missing random pages). I take it the EPR experiment would be on pages 160-167?

Thanks 162-163 are missing for me and appear to be relavent. The book also uses its own terminology and diagrams which they describe as "quantish-physics." I am guessing I would have to read a chunk of the book to be able to double check what was written in the book. Since the OP's question really does seem tied to the book just as much as what is normally considered the EPR experiment I do not think I will be able to help.
