I've always sucked at math. And geography. Good thing there aren't any velociraptors around lately. I'd not only not know the calculations involved in escaping an attack, I'd get lost in the process.

The second question looks tricky! I don't think the solution would be a simple matter of running in a straight line, but some curve would be involved. I'm assuming here that the velociraptors can track you, otherwise the solution is trivial --- just run in between the raptors and escape! We also have to wonder about how intelligent the raptors are. Do they run to your current position or do they run towards your future position, based on your current speed?
