The hometown question's answer can't be captured by topic Q4.

The underscore wildcard indicates 1 or more words, but in the sentence you are checking, you have no more words before "May I know....". Miss out the underscore and it will work.

<topic name = "Q4">
   <category>
       <pattern>_</pattern>
       <that>MAY I KNOW WHAT YOUR HOME TOWN IS</that>
       <template>
           <delay>1</delay>
           <set name="topic">Q5</set> Good to know.
       </template>
   </category>
