A gedanken experiment discovered by Lucien Hardy is translated into a very direct black‐box gedanken demonstration of quantum nonlocality with red and green lights, using only two far apart detectors each of which operates in only two modes. The quantum mechanical underpinnings of the gedanken demonstration are quite simple.
