If it is true I'm sure that the student would have gotten at least a passing grade if was willing to risk using Feynman.

#5This is the sort of hack that Feynman himself would have pulled, back when he was an undergraduate.

Or would have no chance of passing without him.
Since it's an open-book exam, it's likely going to take a lot of thoughtful work.

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.

#10Even 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.
