Both of those questions were pretty easy, especially if you remembered the origins of Lacrosse from when you were in school. I'd be at the $30k question with ATA and my +1 still in play.

For tomahawk to be "similar" to hammer throw, he must have thought that they throw claw or ball-peen types of hammers. I suspect he's never actually seen the hammer throw.

Given that lacrosse was a Native American sport, that would have been my answer.
