Description
If anything, this comic references the 1993 movie Jurassic Park, like xkcd 87. The movie deals about a mad billionaire opening a animal zoo. No so bad, but the animals in question are not your ordinary lions or elephants, but dinosaurs and the like, brought back to life by said billionaire through his DNA-cloning company. Of course, everything goes haywire, and several of the meat-eating creatures, among which the velociraptors mentioned in the image, try to devour every human in the theme park. Said velociraptors thereby pose a certain intelligence for hunting out their pray.
Randall is asked to substitute Mrs. Lenhart in math class. The test he devises contains three questions, which have the recurring theme of humans running from said velociraptors. As Randall himself says in the comic: “Knowledge more vital than you've ever learned.”
