Abstract: A local realistic theory is presented for Mermin's special case of the EPRB experiment. The theory, which is readily extended to the general EPRB experiment, reproduces all the predictions of quantum theory. It also reveals that Bell, and also Hess and Philipp, had made an error in the mathematical formulation of Einstein's locality or no action at a distance principle.
