numbering exercises? #198

Hi all,

There are many exercises in this lesson. Maybe it would make sense to number them (as in episode 3).

While acting as a helper for this lesson, I saw much confusion in the break-out rooms about locating the right exercise, and sometimes people looking at different exercises thinking they were doing the same question.

I agree with this sentiment. A problem that I noticed while looking through the lesson was in how many exercise questions there were without distinguishing signs beyond the text of the questions displayed. This problem occurs in multiple sections and can potentially confuse users attempting to go through the questions, especially if they are intended to be answered in groups like within the Regular Expressions section. The questions themselves are fairly distinct, but some form of numbered labeling would significantly reduce the confusion addressed above.
