A clue:
Here are the initial letters of the answers:ROUND FOUR
A vegetable, a country, a musical instrument, a disease, without doubt, a mathematical formula, conduct, an advancement of exceptional scope, idiots, chaos.
All clues for words which share a quality. For example, for the first few you might have: Potato, Lesotho, piccolo, lumbago... and they woould all be words ending in 'O'.
What are the answers and what do they have in common?
C vegetable, M country, T musical instrument, P disease, U without doubt, E mathematical formula, B conduct, G advancement (adjective), I idiots, P chaos.Comment

PandemoniumYou play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

No takers for the last missing answer? I'll tell you, it was 'ground-breaking'.
So I shall give the whole point to rambon in recognition of his almost full earlier answer:
So here is the table after Round 4:
Pos. . . . . . . . Points . . . . . . Person
1 . . . . . . . . . . . 2 . . . . . . . The Statman
2 . . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . rambon
3 . . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . elvaago
(We will assume the same principles as in the snooker quiz, whereby you go straight to the top of your new points total to avoid tied positions.)
ROUND FIVE
...will come along later, unless anyone else wants to jump in...Comment
