Bernstein’s classical paradox of right colored-faced tetrahedron, while designed to illustrate the subtleties of probability theory, is strongly flawed in being asymmetric: three of the tetrahedron’s faces are single- and one, is multi-colored. Therefore, even prior to formal calculations, a strong suspicion as to the independence of outcoming statistics arises. Not so with entangled states. In the schematic solutions proposed, while photon detection channels are completely symmetric and equivalent, the events that occur in them turn out to be statistically dependent, making the Bernstein paradox even more impressive due to the unusual behavior of quantum particles not obeying classical laws. As an illustrative example of the probability paradox, Greenberger—Horne—Zeilinger multiqubit states are considered.
