I swear that "MacGregor" was a total stab in the dark, based upon me barely remembering Liam Neeson in that role.

After I submitted my answers, I Googled it and was astounded that I was right!

1. Rotorua is a large lake in what country?
This just screams of something polynesian. But most smaller island countries have a limited number of lakes except perhaps volcanic craters so I will guess New Zealand. Sounds kind of Maori-ish.

2. What was Scotsman Rob Roy’s last name?
MacGyver. I know that isn't it but it is Mac something. But that is as good a guess as any...

3. What flower has types such as Alba, Bourbon, and Centifolia among many, many others?
My girlfriend has about 30 different varieties planted in the front yard. Although I am not sure any of them are one of these. Roses

4. In what sport are the floor, walls, and ceiling of the court all legal playing surfaces?
Given the category I suspect Racquetball. Used to play a good bit but not so much anymore.
