'admitted' is not False.

task one seems to pass, task 2 isn't :/ thanks in advance for the help.

conditions.py 
admitted = None
if age >= 13:
  admitted = "true"
else:
  admitted = "false"

[MOD: fixed formatting -cf]

I dont know how you passed task 1 as your supposed to assign a boolean NOT a string. So True and False

admitted = None
if age >= 13:
  admitted = True
else:
  admitted = False

Thanks, it's odd though, my first answer wasn't a string, and it still didn't work then. the only difference this time was that i capitalised the T and F in true/false and it worked.

Yea keep in mind that unlike other programming languages, python needs its booleans capitalized

"This is correct answer" also works for task 1. Actually, any numeric value, string value, or object is True, except None, False, 0, ' ', ( ), [ ], { }.

Joyful coding to you :)
