Reminds me of another elementary one.
Somebody has 5 siblings. Their names are Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. There are only 6 siblings in the family. What is the sixth sibling’s name?
Hidden:
We don't know... or is it "Somebody"?
I suppose it should be "I have 5 siblings" or "you have 5 siblings"
Here they always use a different pitch for the number of hours...
In this case the answer stays the same...
If it is the same pitch,
Hidden:
it could be 60 minutes... because 1 o'clock would have one chime just like the quarter hours...
If I hear 4 single chimes, it could be
1:00, 1:15; 1:30, 1:45, and the next would be 2:00 (2 chimes) or
12:15, 12:30; 12:45, 13:00; and the next would be 13:15 (1 chime)
After 1 hour, I would be settled, if it chimes two times, it is 2 o'clock, if it goes on chiming once, it is 13:15
Our "grandma clocks" function differently than yours... they always have two bells and sound different notes - one for the time in hours, at each full hour - the other for the quarters...

Let’s go by the assumption that the pitch is the same on the hour as on the 15 minutes. You gave that option in your answer but it was still incorrect.

I don't own a 'grandma clock', but for the sake of the riddle, it there's no differentiating between the sounds....
