In the so-called GHZ experiments knowing, say, the circular polarizations of two photons of a three-photon entangled state allows quantum mechanics to predict with certainty the linear polarization of the third (top) photon, which in this case is horizontal. A local realist would predict orthogonal linear polarization — in this case vertical.
