You are at the center of a 20m equilateral triangle with a raptor at each corner. You can immediately accelerate to your top speed of 6m/s. The raptors can accelerate at 4m/s^2 to their top speed of 25m/s. The top raptor has a wounded leg and is limited to a top speed of 10m/s. The raptors will run towards you. At what angle should you run to maximize the time you stay alive?

At the angle that intersects with the midpoint of one of the lines created by the velociraptor with a bad leg and the one with a good leg (about 45 degrees).

Yes, a trick question: you're only hope is to stay completely motionless as they react to motion...er, or is that only for the Tyrannosaurus Rex... it's been awhile since I've watched Jurassic Park. If not, you're dead in under 2 seconds, before you've had the chance to take two strides!

well you should have stayed still, i think the best position would be like in a ball covering you head very still, so they cant see your eyes either an pray lol. because by running you already shown your stupidity an lowered your ranking in the survival of the fittest (or smartest) game =P

Ha! Trick question, you don't run. You fall to the ground squealing like a little girl as they rip your body open. Which angle would you run, honestly. Psh. :P
