Thanks Arash, I had just remembered, probably a little too late to help people study.

Yup, sorry about that.

Rewriting no. 4 so it is more clear and grammatically correct:
4b:
 Distribution ray tracing involves casting multiple rays towards an 
object or light source, instead of the usual one per bounce. This is more computationally expensive but gives a much better approximation of the light at a point. It also allows for soft light sources and partial occlusion, where a point is only partly lighted by an area light source.

4c:
 Color bleeding occurs when light bounces off nearby surfaces and 
influences the color of another surface. Indirect lighting from other objects in the scene can contribute colored light to other surfaces.

I noticed that the people responsible for three and four managed to forget to post them to the discussion.
Here they are for those who didn't have access to a camera on monday.
