Was the assignment for *you* to do the work, or for you to find
someone to do the work for you?

Would you be presenting the answers as your own, or would you have
presented them as "Someone on Usenet told me the answers were x, y, z,
and w." ?

If asked, I would say someone helped me with the assignment. If not, I
would say nothing. In this situation, it is unimportant, for reasons
already explained.

The solution to your situation is very simple:
Ask your instructor for the answers to the questions,
write them down and and turn them in.

If you are correct in thinking that he would not mind
you getting them from some else on the Internet,
then what objection could he have to your getting
them from him?
