1 Throw: "To throw" means to launch or propel with your hands, generally an object such as a ball. In this context, however, it means to raise your hands into the air, or "wave them" over your head.
2 assets: "Assets" describe items capable of generating income. These could be cash, property (real estate) or machines for example. A "liquid asset" can be converted into cash with minimum time. Metals such as gold and silver are examples of liquid assets.
3 divide: The verb "to divide" means to "split" or "separate" into smaller parts. It is also a mathematical function. Icarus plans on "dividing" or "separating" the money into three thirds and investing or placing a third in different ways.
4 thirds: "A third" or "one third" is 1/3; a fraction equivalent to .33333. Icarus plans to divide the 1.2 million dollars he has found into "thirds" (or increments of 400,000 dollars) and place or invest each third differently.
5 fees: A "fee" refers to the cost of a service. Example: Lawyers charge large fees for their services, and bankers charge fees for transactions. In this verse, Icarus encourages Bruno to put a third of the 1.2 million dollars into a savings account which does not charge any "fees" or "charges".

1 gold: "Gold" is the correct answer. The medal for an Olympic champion is made of the metal "gold". Winners of each event receive a gold medal.
2 silver: "Silver" is the correct answer. The medal for an Olympic champion is made of the metal "silver". The competitor that finishes second receives a silver medal. Other things commonly made from silver: knives and forks, coins, jewelry.
