>To me, we can take the Ace of Hearts and the Ace of Spades, shuffle them, and deal them out, face down, one each to Bob and Sally. Bob can go a light year away. Sally then looks at her card and knows right away, nothing faster than the speed of light needed, what Bob's card is.

I don't get it. Alice knows it right away only if she knows the rules of the game, electricity in her brain doesn't need to move a light year away. Though, if she's braindamaged, it can take longer than a light year for her to figure that out or may never happen at all.
