Anyway, your drawing would mean that someone would have to go through two 
rooms to reach theirs, which ultimately defeats the purpose of dividing 
the room inthe first place because they wanted their privacy.

Anyway, if you can draw out a way that you can devide a rectange into 
three equal parts but have some sorta of corridor to each, please tell me!

Hmm how about this...

Looks a bit... ugly, but it can be done. You enter from the door at the 
end of the room, turn left to go in room 1, forward for room 2, turn 
right for room 3.

Now about the ending... IMO it was too short... you skipped over 
everything with a narrative. It shouldn't have been that easy to get the 
bottle back from Ryouga, wouldn't he want to keep it so that Ranma can't 
turn male anymore and make it easier for him to marry Akane? And what 
about all this stuff with Shampoo? Is she going to go chase after Ranma 
again, now that Jack left Nerima? Or is Cologne just going to disown her 
and say "if you come within 100 km of the Amazon village we will kill 
you" or something?

Anyway... please reconsider ending the fic like this... I know there 
have been many people saying... unfriendly things about having an author 
star in his own fic etc., but there are probably still many people 
following your fic.
