Answer: 420

April 20th (4/20 in American form) is celebrated by cannabis users throughout the world, but its origins are found in the time 4:20 pm rather than the date.

This gave rise to the phrase 420 Louis, which was over time shortened to 420. The 420 holiday didn't make an appearance until 1991, but is now viewed as an important day within cannabis culture to gather and celebrate the plant, as well as smoke a few bowls.

Answer: 450

Canadian five pin bowling is unique in that the five pins have different point values. The centre pin is worth five points, those on either side of it are worth three points each, and the outermost pins, two points each, meaning that a total of 15 points can be scored in each frame. Each bowler has three balls per frame and the scoring for strikes and spares means that a perfect score, requiring 12 consecutive strikes, adds up to 450 points.

This is a rare occurrence however, with the governing body, the Canadian 5 Pin Bowlers Association (C5PBA) sanctioning only between 15 and 30 perfect games each year.
