CHEMICAL BANK

Answer: On this day in 1969, America’s first automatic teller machine made its public debut, dispensing cash to customers at Chemical Bank in Rockville Center, New York. A Chemical Bank advertisement boasted "On Sept. 2 our bank will open at 9:00 and never close again." Chemical's ATM, initially known as a Docuteller was designed by Donald Wetzel and his company Docutel. Chemical executives were initially concerned that customers would resist having machines handling their money. ATMs went on to revolutionize the banking industry, eliminating the need to visit a bank to conduct basic financial transactions.

WHITE

Answer: Wearing white after Labor Day has been a no-no in the fashion world for decades, but if asked why, many people wouldn't know the reason behind the strange end-of-summer rule. There is no single explanation for the rule, but there are several possibilities regarding its origin. One common explanation is practical. For centuries, wearing white in the summer was simply a way to stay cool. Another explanation can be traced back to the latter period of the nineteenth century when the fashion industry adopted Labor Day as the natural endpoint for summer fashion.

I'm going to guess Manhattan

Answer: About 80 feet below Wall Street lies about 6,350 tons of gold, made up of about 508,000 bars, that are collectively worth hundreds of billions of dollars. According to “Key to the Gold Vault", a Federal Reserve Bank of New York publication, the gold vault in the New York Fed’s basement “is the world’s largest accumulation of gold and belongs to 36 foreign governments, central banks, and official international organizations.” When any compartment inside the vault is opened, three people, including one New York Fed auditor, must be present to ensure that the gold is safe.

1.4 BILLION

Answer: China's 2019 population is 1.43 billion, based on United Nations projections. China, officially the People's Republic of China, is the largest country in the world today. China population is equivalent to 18.59% of the total world population. India, the next largest country, has 120 million fewer people, for a population of 1.28 billion. The United States, the third largest country in the world, has a much smaller population of 323 million. Estimates show that India will pass China as the most populous nation in the world in the next couple of decades.

Bridgestone Michelin Goodyear LEGO

LEGO

Answer: While one would assume this award goes to one of the tires commonly seen on the road like Bridgestone, Michelin or Goodyear, it might be a surprise to know it’s actually LEGO Group. That’s right, the Guinness World Record holder for “largest tire manufacturer per year” goes to LEGO. Lego makes more tires than those three companies combined. LEGO produced 700 million tires in 2018, making them the world’s largest tire manufacturer by number of units produced. That’s over 1.9 million tires being made each day! The huge amount of tires created every year is because nearly half of all LEGO sets include wheels of some sort.

DRIVER

Answer: Anyone who plays golf knows that the driver hits the ball the farthest of any club. It also has the lowest launch angle, or "loft." Loft is the amount that the face of the club slopes back. The wedge is the club with the highest loft and is used to pop the ball high up in the air. The wedge is commonly used with a full swing to produce high-altitude shots or lifting the ball over trees. The wedge can aid the player in making accurate short-distance "lob" shots, to get the ball onto the green or out of a hazard or other tricky spot.
