I just sit in the hut and enjoy my food while the dinosaur is starving outside.
Sounds okay to me.

Humana last weeks without food, you think you're going to starvea 7 ton, cold blooded carrion eater to death in a mere month?
7 ton seems pretty big and I think they were warm-blooded, I recon they'll start starving before I run out of food. They may not be dead by day 30 but on those final nights of starving unconciousness you could probably stick it with the knife. Large birds of prey may only eat once per day but they still starve within a couple of days, and the bigger they are, the hungrier they get.
Alligators and crocodiles can go months without eating. If needed, apparently, even 2 years. I wouldn't count on a dinosaur being weak with hunger in a few weeks.
So you're telling me I get free accommodation, free food, and it's protected by a T-rex?
I would take 1 week and observe the T-Rex from inside the hut. Make small, but safe, movements.
After determining that I will be unable to kill the T-Rex I will inform the person running the game that I can not kill the T-Rex and would like to forfeit.
The person running the game would protest, but eventually realize I am not going on provide any further entertainment.
They'd bring in the professionals to corral the T-Rex and contain him.
Those professionals? A secret team I've hired. My forfeit? I had my fingers crossed.
With the T-Rex contained and drugged, I stab the T-Rex.
The team and I split the winnings. Credits roll.
Depends. How long can a T-rex survive without food? If the answer is less than a month, I will absolutely do this.
Death by ~~a thousand~~ 30-60 cuts.
Wait till trex is asleep. Quick 1-2 stab, then run abck to your hut.
Repeat as necessary.
If you can go for the eyes, it can be alot easier later on
Of course I wouldn't do it. Why should I kill such a magnificent animal? I'd tame it and ride it.
Will the T-Rex be provided food? Because I could just wait it out. But if it's provided food I'd just make sure it swallows the hunting knife with its meal and in theory it should cause some gastrointestinal leakage...
It probably sucks down sharp bones no problem. But then, nobody really has any idea. It could play the ukulele for all we know.
I don't think he would last long with our current oxygen levels, there is a reason why such giant creatures don't exist anymore.
On top of that like comments said if we just waited out he would starve to dead, even if we were not provided food.
*Edit
Well looks like I was wrong, thx for clarifying that out.
Really though the reason for big animals not being as prevelant anymore was really the oxygen levels Idk where I got that from.
But then it is really weird how the evolution meta didn't evolve back to the huge beasts we see on books, someone said in the comments that it was due to the mammals success, if so it puts things really into perspective.
The largest animal we have known to ever live is alive right now, the blue whale.
The ocean doesn't count
In this particular case, it does. Whales are air breathing mammals.
Yes, but they spend most of their lives under water, only coming up briefly to breathe. Being under several atmospheres of pressure changes your air requirements.
Whether those requirements go up or down, I'm not sure.
