Most likely Shampoo "adjusted" the teacher's memories, rather than actually enrolling in the school, with a bit of shampooing. With as short a time as they were out of the classroom it is unlikely to be anything else. Unfortunately, with the teachers continually changing throughout the school day...this method of resolving the problem of Shampoo's presence will have to be repeated several times. Unless, of course, Shampoo hits upon the idea of "adjusting" the school administrators (i.e.: the vice-principal and the office personnel). |

Effectively, yes. According to Mage, the class stays together in the same room while the teacher rotates through. He also suggests that since it is the homeroom teacher that handles the admin, she would effectively pass any events pertaining to students- in this case Shampoo as part of the class -to the next. That said, I'm still thinking these follow-on teachers are still going to retain a bit of suspicion since as Dumbledork mention there's no way Shampoo could pass as a real student no matter how much home room teacher says so to the others. I don't see her 411ing every teacher as horribly implausible, so I'll roll with that. |

Hmm, now bear with me a moment, but I've been thinking. Now this is purely conjecture, so don't take it too seriously. I was thinking about the whole hair-growing thing one night and, after having read a few other fics earlier, I hit upon the idea of how the curse works, and why it only affects males. It has to do with their ki ratio, between male and female ki. When Ranma is a male, his male ki is higher which triggers the curse, which actually feeds upon his female ki to power itself. And that's why the curse causes most other males to go bald from overuse, because it draws away all their female ki that they might have to power itself. And because Ranma's curse keeps producing more female ki, the curse will simply overload itself eventually. Or maybe that just a buncha bull and I have no idea what I'm talking about. Being sick can do that to you. |

You're thinking too much. 'A wizard did it' or 'it's magic' should work well enough as an explanation. |

I know, its my curse. I have an unending desire to understand the 'whys' and the 'hows' of everything. Drove my physics teacher crazy last year. And more than a few of my classmates looked like they were going to kill me next time I said, "I have a question." But still, I was just thinking that if Ozzallos is going to eventually get rid of the curse, which I'm pretty sure he will, then how would he explain it? |

I like having Shampoo shadow Ranma around and act as a body guard. It will be interesting to see the reactions of other amazons to the situation if/when they show up. But to be honest, i hope Ranma and Kodachi get back together soon, i need a Ma-chan and Ko-chan fix Still, all in all, i like this story, so keep it up But would it be in bad taste to plead for a new chapter of HiaMA anythime in the near future, or even dare i dream.... an update to Orien Ranma?? |

Realistically, I don't really need a special rule set since canon provides a perfectly usable one if and when I choose to exercise the option: The porridge's endurance presumably ran out, or its expiration date passed (I address both in the ANs of the published chapters). No physics degrees required. Scenes of upcoming HiaMA are up in the Author's section, and thanks

Shamps has a large chui-shaped lawyer to handle that kind of negotiations. |

Perhaps Shampoo used the 'Akane method' of memory modification? |

Probably a stupid question, but where is the Author's section? I know nothing effectively nothing about this site and would like to see the HiaMA preview. |

30,000 yen seems rather cheap for how Nabiki's reacting to Ranma throwing it out... On today's conversion, 30,000 yen= $373.09 300 bucks isn't a tiny sum by any means, but nothing to be all like "Oh snap, that's expensive" about. Heck, its way less then what I'd expect a shit ton of gymnastics equipment to cost, regardless of quality |

While 30,000 yen only equates out to a bit above 300 dollars, i think Ozz made a fairly common mistake that a lot of fic writers do. They equal yen to dollars at a one for one rate I.E. 1 Yen equals 1 dollar without taking in the actual conversion rate. Besides, 30,000 yen sounds expensive while saying something like 300,000 yen or even 3,000,000 yen simply seems like a ridiculous amount to mention, almosts seems too much to be believable. |

Two things. First international exchange rates are not linked 1:1 with buying power, the buying power of 30,000 yen (especially in the sort of things teen agers want) could be equivalent to twice or even more it's value in dollars according to the international exchange rates. Second keep in mind Ranma and Nabiki are teenagers in highschool, not adults working a job. Now think how you'd reacted if some 10th grader was tossing off 400$). |

Considering the source (rich kid living without need of parent direct supervision) I'd be like you're cheap. Especially as it requires the assistance of a group of people to unload AND set up. Add a few zeroes and it might be more accurate. |

its ridiculously silly to assume professional grade gymnastics equipment, a sport who's equipment all tends to the larger size, would only be $400 for the whole set. I just googled how much a pommel horse would cost, It was $3590 And thats just one piece. |
