bummer

this works for me in PyCharm Python3:

backwards = [ 'tac', 'esuoheerT', 'htenneK', [5, 4, 3, 2, 1], ]

def reverse(list): return list[::-1]

forwards = list(map(reverse, backwards))

why it doesn't pass the test here?

maps.py 
backwards = [
    'tac',
    'esuoheerT',
    'htenneK',
    [5, 4, 3, 2, 1],
]

def reverse(list):
    return list[::-1]


forwards = list(map(reverse, backwards))

The challenge just wants you to use map() but doesn't ask that forwards be a list:

forwards = map(reverse, backwards)
