Best quote heard during an inspection, "I was unaware that I was the only one who was aware."

Bizarre 'press release' in London today claims the Olympic torch for the November handover is being launched on this mission -- nonsense, but got me wondering. What about the 'stunt double' replica torch that will actually be outside [the real torch stays sealed in packing container, and is only moved from one Soyuz to the other -- it is NOT unpacked or taken outside]? When will THAT item be launched? I would presume the crew would like to play around with it well prior to beginning EVA prep for Nov 9.

Is that flat-cardboard 'torch' shown at the press conference the 'stunt double' that will be on the EVA? If so, when does it arrive at the ISS?
