PACS 03.65.Ud – Entanglement and quantum nonlocality (e.g. EPR paradox, Bell’s inequalities, GHZ states, etc.) PACS 03.65.Ta – Foundations of quantum mechanics; measurement theory PACS 03.65.-w – Quantum mechanics Copyright c © EPLA, 2010 In their Comment [1] on our letter [2], Leggett and Garg claim that they have introduced in their original paper (LG1) a dependence on measurement times. They also claim that eqs. (HMDR1) and (LG2a) can therefore not be linked in such a way that the arguments of [2] can be transcribed. However, (LG1) distinguishes only three time differences, and all experimental results correspond-ing to the same time differences are identically labeled and therefore treated as mathematically identical. We there-fore cannot agree with the argumentation of Leggett and Garg: except for a change of nomenclature, eqs. (HMDR1) and (LG2a) are the same. A more extensive discussion of this point can be found in ref. [3]. According to Boole [4], it is logically and mathemati-cally impossible to violate the inequality |F12±F13|6 1±F23, (1) where Fij
