Quantum non-locality:Defiance to Special theory of relativity?????

In a seminar Being attended by two most renowned physiscts ever Niels Bohr and Einstein the former asked the latter a question which was to become a sensation throughout physics......................................
the question was simple but has eluded an answer by evn Einstein himself...................
here goes......................

"consider a thought experiment in which there is a machine that can give two electrons opposite spin thereby making the total spin zero......although the electron will not show only one spin throughout its lifetime the electron will adjust its spin as such that the total spin is zero......................now wen the total spin has been made to zero take one electron far away frm the other one................now wen we measure the spin of one electron the spin of the other is automatically found out to be just opposite bcoz the total spin has to be zero..........................this result has been proven experimentally...............


Now the question is:
                    "if nothing can travel faster than the speed of light then how did the other electron know wat spin to take almost(well exactly) instantaneously????????????

lets c if an answer cms up.....................
