In the original Game 4, the hardest round was the science round,
which due to my mistake you already saw in newsgroup Game 3; the
next-hardest round was the audio round, which I won't be posting;
and the third-hardest round was thie one.
Sorry, in the original posting of this round the names were ASCIIfied.
I've edited the quoted questions to show the omitted diacritical snow.
