Answer 1

1pm

Answer 2

If the clock is the one on the UK Houses of Parliament, then the chimes are broadcast on the radio. The time between each strike is 5 seconds. The speed of sound in air at Thames level is 1216 kilometres per hour, or 0.337778 kilometres per second; or 1.688889 kilometres in 5 seconds.

So if at 12 noon or midnight , you are 1.688889 kilometres (just over a mile in Roman units) away from the Houses of Parliament, with a radio on BBC 4, you will hear the 1st chime on the radio, 5 secs later you will hear the 2nd chime on the radio at the same time as the 1st chime through the air.
5 seconds after you hear the 12th chime on the radio, you will hear the 12th chime through the air, so it will sound as though you have heard 13 chimes.
