It was professor Plum with the candle stick, in the library. :)

SHOOOOT HER!!!! SHOOOOOT HER!!!
Pretty sure the answer to #1 is 73 meters. Does it exempt me if I carry a 10mm every time I'm in the woods?
I do believe this is the correct firearm for dinosaurs...

First one you are going to be eaten after 4 seconds.
Raptor will have run 64m, you will have run 24m. The raptor will be going 16m/s at that time, hopefully fast enough to knock you out before she eats you.
Initial distance of 40m
add 6m/s to distance for the panicked human
reduce distance by 4m/s^2 for the hungry raprot (until 6.25sec, then cap at 25m/s)
0=40+6t-4t^2, solve for t. Multiply by 6 to get human distance, add 40 to human distance to get raptor distance
(nice nerd snipe)
Second one, the wounded raptor doesn't matter. They are too close to reach that 10m/s top speed and there is nothing about slower acceleration. Aim for the middle of any edge or just cower, you are not getting far.
Correct answer to the question doesn't matter. Without a firearm you're F'd.
