Who negative voted that? Lol i thought it was funny, not how u accent it but funny
Hi! It's neither "fun" nor "hun". It's something between, and that's the same aplication with "fu" and "hu". (The same concept for the english word "think" for brasilians: it's neither fink nor tink. It's something between those sounds and that's why it's hard for us)

is there a way to tell if 「分」 is pronounced -ふん, -ぶん, or -ぷん with times? or is it just something that has to be memorized?

What do you mean? All time? Or this sentence? 'Cause all time is a really broad topic. In this sentence, what you should do is to say something like "five hour five minute to-be" which translates as "it's 5:05" and that's all with every similar sentences.
It's "minute." So the whole statement 六時六分 is kind of like sayinf "sixth hour, sixth minute" in English, or 6:06.
What if someone close asks us the time? Can we omit it then like we can omit it in english? It's always best to say desu though right
Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, to the future
time is a tool you can put on the wall or wear it on your wrist, the past is far behind us, the future doesn't exist
