Don't set the 'age' variable. I'll do that for you.

admitted = None

age = 13 
if age <= 13:
   admitted = True
else:
   admitted = False
conditions.py 
admitted = None

age = 13 
if age <= 13:
   admitted = True
else:
   admitted = False

Hey there John,

you have two problems in your code: Firstly you have to check if age is greater than or equal to 13 but you're checking if age is less than or equal to 13.

The second problem is that you don't have to create the age variable. Like the error already says this variable will be set automatically when the challenge is evaluated so you can remove the declaration of the variable from your code.

It should look like this then:

admitted = None

if age >= 13:
   admitted = True
else:
   admitted = False

I hope that helps! :)
