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"

You were correct. Sibling #6 is named Somebody.

Lol. I think this riddle only works for Americans. It’s not 18:39 now by us. Does a grandfather clock have 24 numbers?

I take this back. Even with 24 numbers on the clock you should be able to figure it out.

We also divide our dial in 12 hours, when it's round, and the hour hand goes round twice a day...

We just calculate in our head that 6 + 12 = 18...

I’m surprised. Maybe you didn’t give them enough time? Or you don’t enjoy them as much as logic riddles.

In the same pitch or in a different pitch?

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


Wrong

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....

I counted 17 & 15 as only 17 games but had 2 spare for Aretha so added only 8 to 17 instead of 10 for a total of 25.


Hidden: 

Silly of you. You counted 17 2-player games, but then added Aretha's 8 games as single player.....
