a) a million biplanes or one raptor (jet fighter)
Assuming limitations like fuel and ammunition and needs for food/sleep didn't exist, the raptor, based soley on the fact that it can fly at a cruising height much higher than the biplanes can.
Absent that, the raptor will run out of fuel and ammunition before taking down a million anything.
b)100 French GI's (WWI-WWII tech) or 100 rioters with frying pans
um....world war II soldiers had machine guns.
c)100 French musketeers (renaissance tech) or 100 rioters with frying pans
In even numbers any kind of gun > no gun. Even if muskets which are slow to load, the musketeers can at least get one fire round off, tipping the scales in their favor. After that it's hand to hand, with them having superior numbers.

Yup. A fusilade is nothing to scoff at, espescially if you're charging the line with frying pans. Aiming isn't all that important if you cluster your fire, plus in the ensuing melee, the musketeers would have bayonets or sabres or something.
Gotta go with the machineguns too. And the million bi-planes. It all comes down to he who throws the most stones.

a) a million biplanes or one raptor (jet fighter)I think a single velociraptor would be a much more potent force than either of the combatants you listed.

Mario.
Sonic could kick Marios ass any day of the week.
Lets compare:
Mario:
Italian
A plumber
Can jump
Can shoot fire (only sometimes)
Has lame allies
Sonic:
American as apple pie
Can move as fast as the speed of sound
Saved the world a number of times
Has cool shoes
Can collect gold rings, which are cooler than mushrooms
Has awesome allies.

a) a million biplanes or one raptor (jet fighter)
One Raptor Jet, because the Jet could just bomb the bi planes out of the sky.
b)100 French GI's (WWI-WWII tech) or 100 rioters with frying pans
100 rioters, I'm not going to say why.
c)100 French musketeers (renaissance tech) or 100 rioters with frying pans
Same as above.

a) a million biplanes or one raptor (jet fighter)
Million biplanes. The raptor would run out of fuel long before it could destroy them all.
b)100 French GI's (WWI-WWII tech) or 100 rioters with frying pans
What rules of engagement are being used?

Sure, Sonic can move real fast. But Mario can make gold coins shoot out of brick with his fists, shoot flame after eating flowers, eats giant mushrooms and gets larger and meaner, and in some cases, gets a racoon-tail hat that let's him fly. He dodges barrels thrown by monkeys, he's got a brother to back him up, and he can fix that leak under the sink.
Sure, Sonic can run, but he can't hide...
Cannot think of a name

a) Million biplanes. But with a lot of casualites. But still, swarms of bullets. More than a few are going to hit and that will take its toll long before the jet takes out everybody. I guess the jet could circle above them constantly refueling and re-arming and just raining down missle after missle...maybe. But the biplanes still might get their digs in.
b) The French. Unless they're bullet proof frying pans of smacking.
c) The French. After the muskets are expended they still have swords. Swords beat frying pans.

You're getting the wrong mushrooms.

Or because you're a typical American who stereotypes the French as surrender monkeys?

Biplanes to kill them in 24 hours in the air would be 11.5 a second ... doubtful

Biplanes. With huge casualties. But a million to one? They'd have to be balloons armed with pistols to lose at those odds.
French guys with machine guns win against the guys with frying pans.
French guys with muskets win against the guys with frying pans.
The second two are really stupid. Given equal numbers, the guys with guns are going to beat the ones without.

Exactly!
a) a million biplanes or one raptor (jet fighter)
The former. Everything is in their favour. Their smaller physical size, for one. The biplanes are much smaller, making it harder for the jet pilot to aim, and their typically wood and fabric construction gives little if any radar signature, rendering long range missiles useless. They also have no heat signature to speak of, rendering IR missiles useless. Finally, to engage them with its cannon, the jet is forced to fly low and slow, making it a much easier target. With the ridiculous advantage of numbers, all the biplanes would need to do is spray bullets and pray for a hit whenever the jet makes an attack run.

A) Neither. Biplanes can't hit the jet, much less take it out of the sky. Jet can't take out all of the biplanes, just no way. Unless the biplanes destroy the jet on the landing strip, neither one of these wins.
B) French GIs. The question is silly.
C) Same. The question is silly.

a) a million biplanes or one raptor (jet fighter)
The biplanes via sheer weight of numbers. The raptor would run out of missiles & ammo and be reduced to ramming the biplanes out of the sky. That's a shortcut to disaster in my book.
b)100 French GI's (WWI-WWII tech) or 100 rioters with frying pans!
Why are they French? Any WWI tech equipped army would slaughter frying pan armed rioters.
c)100 French musketeers (renaissance tech) or 100 rioters with frying pans
The musketeers. They would kill enough rioters with even just one volley, to tip the weight of numbers decisively in their favour.
