Research direction

Start with the Functions exercise and run it under Python 3 to reproduce the map/filter behavior. Compare the exercise with the attached Functions_list_patch.txt and verify that the exercise produces the expected list-based results when complete.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The Functions exercise doesn't work properly when run in python3 because filter and map don't return a list anymore but an iterable.
