This is the sort of hack that Feynman himself would have pulled, back when he was an undergraduate.
Funny but sound like a urban legend.
Not necessarily. Tests were on the honor system at Caltech (and I suppose still are). You typically took them in your dorm room.
So there's only one class at the entire school, called "Google 101"?
Heh. I remember one open-book midterm in particular: my score of 56% got a B.

bloody briliant, a much better exam hack than pointless puns.
He can't have been the only person in the class who had the thought. I would have; I just wouldn't have dared.
True or not, funny story.

Even if they had explicitly written Feynman's Lectures on Physics on the exam, the students could have asked Feynman to give a special lecture which happens to cover all of the exam material.
