Peggy Stonnell threw down the gauntlet:

There is something about the Ranma 1/2 story line that is bothering
me and I can't find the answer in the Vis translations or the videos.
So I am challenging the writers on this list to come up their answers
to my puzzle.

How _did_ Hibiki Ryouga find out that Saotome Ranma was a student at
Furinkin High School and living at the Tendo Dojo? 


Akin to Cyrano de Bergerac, I feel that a multitude of ways present themselves:

SIMPLE:  He asked someone.

PUZZLING:  He got the information from a mysterious tip.

TERRIFYING:  He scared it out of the Jusenkyo Guide.  (How'd he know?)

PRETERNATURAL:  He asked a fortune teller.

AUGUST:  It was announced on the radio.  (Soun's idea.)

LOGICAL:  He found out they were going to China, right?  
          (so it's not an answer, but, hey)

CLERICAL:  It was written on a sign from the last house they rented.

GOOFY:  He took a guess.

COMMERCIAL:  Somebody sold him the info (Guess who? :)

MATHEMATICAL:  It was in the intersection of circles in which:
               a>  they had money to go to
               b>  there was large-scale destruction lately
               c>  Ryoga hadn't been in yet (he hasn't seen him yet, right?)

NUMISMATIC:  It was as far as their money could take them.

and there are so many more.

Sorry, I wasn't really able to answer the question, but the idea came to mind...
