While out hiking, Jake met...

Errr, I obviously missed that day in class. What does the statue do?
The statue greatly magnifies his odds of appearing and causes him to ALWAYS appear at the statue. It will also sometimes delay his departure as he pauses to interact with the statue before disappearing.
Doc Doofus:
I don't know why you guys have so much trouble. I catch him more than half of the time.
Here's a tip: do it after dark. You can see the POOF! more clearly. And until he shows, just have your Sim walking from left to right without interacting with any other Sims.
In the lot that has the two teapots and the zen garden, he most often appears for me at the far left side of the screen, outside the fence, on the other side of the sushi bar. The other times, he usually appears in the center back, near the trees. I put my sim on the sidewalk, half-way between those two spots and just walk left and right for a while, and if I don't see him promptly, I leave and come back.

Ain't it fun that this game finally has an actual quick-of-the-draw strategy-needing type of thingy? Gamers? Yes?
NO!
I'm of the "I Just Wanna Play Dollhouse!" school.
But I've still got it down pat. ;)

Don't have the ninja statue on any lots (didn't even know what you guys were talking about until I looked through the catalogue.) But it's still pretty easy to get him to appear (just keep lot-jumping if he doesn't show, or if you miss him.) The hard part is that the answer to the questions is completely random, so sometimes you get screwed by the RNG. I've sent a couple couples on vacation, and one sim just couldn't get the right answer. Fortunately, he can run, and it was his slow-assed wife who really needed the teleport, anyways.
The first time I encountered the ninja after installing BV, he hung around near the wishing well a bit and even did some social interactions after teaching my sim to teleport. I've never seen this since, so it's either a glitch, or one of those "show off the new feature" programming choices (like the annoying phone calls when you first install a downtown or vacation 'hood.)
I find it harder to get the other items (voodoo doll, dragon scroll) when sending couples on vacation. Sometimes, after one person gets the gift, the scenario won't reset for other vacationers. Other times, it does.

Honestly, this is just too much trouble for me. If I want ninja, I summon ninja. None of this walking back and forth, or lot hopping until he arrives. I started playing TS2 because I was fed up with the "solve the puzzle" type games.
