I’m sorry, if it is the single.php, which I used the WordPress Default theme’s wp-content/themes/default/single.php, then it would show one post from category 4 and your single post.
I just tried to use the default theme, and used that code in single.php and still nothing.
Well you have to actually visit a single post to see it in action. Note it won’t be formatted correctly but it will show the stuff.
I’m guessing you are using the wrong template for where you want to display that info. Review Template Hierarchy for more info.
And some other examples to grind your teeth with:

I actually think it maybe my installation or something, because I used the default theme and nothing happened. (I added the code in the relevant section when swaping themes.)
you can do this without modifying the theme code, assuming you have Mystique 1.20+
create or edit page/post/whatever, and add this shortcode:
[query count="1" category_id="4"]
(if you want it on the home page, set this page as your front page from the Reading menu)
here you can find more info about [query]
Ah cool, thanks alot for ALL your help guys. Where do I stick that shortcode though?
into a page, post or widget
