A Quizzical Treasure House

I guess, yesterday’s Treasure quiz was a little bit on the tougher side. There were a lot of incorrect answers. But still some made it to the answer. Here is the latest updated Scoreboard. As I had mentioned in yesterdays’ post, from today we have new scoring rules. Please take a look at the new Rules and Regulations. In short to make it into the leader board, try to be one among the first 4 answer entries that I receive.

Answer to Treasure Quiz - May 4

Sikkim has the highest ATM installed.

Details

Clue1 > ATM. The first use of ATM magstripe cards is said to have been made in 1969 when Docutel installed its Docuteller machine at New York's Chemical Bank. This is the first recorded use of magnetically encoded plastic.
Donald C Wetzel is given credit for developing the machine for Docutel.
Docutel was the first to apply for a patent and is credited by the Smithsonian Museum as inventor of the ATM, even though some say it was Luther George Simjian who invented it. Simjian's had patented a similar machine in 1939, but it was not a very successful version of the ATM.

Clue2> Sikkim
