I know there used to be a newsgroup about pac-man (and its relatives), but
that was before I became really familiar with the game.  Anyway, I've been
playing Ms. Pac-Man for a few years now, and there are several questions
which interest me:

1.  What happens after level 21?
2.  Does anyone know how to control the motion of the green monster
    (especially when you are hovering near an exit).  So far I can control
    the red and pink monsters on some of the levels, but I am not aware of
    any reliable sequence of moves to influence the green one.
3.  Does anyone know how to predict the motion of *any* monster in *any*
    situation (i.e. what algorithm governs the motion of a particular
    monster).
4.  Is the increase in speed of the red monster a function of the number
    of dots left on the board, or is it a function of something else.
5.  What 'blind' spots (or 'hiding' places) are you aware of?
6.  What is a "good" strategy for playing the Junior levels?

If you feel these points do not warrant a net-wide discussion then please
mail me your ideas.  I'll post a summary if there is sufficient interest
shown.  Thanks in advance.
