Hey Martin,

If you look at your current if statement, you're checking if age is equal to or greater than 13. You need to flip-flop that statement to check if age is greater than or equal to 13 (>= not =>). Finally, inside of your if statement, set admitted to True.

Check it out:

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

Jacob,

There are LOTS of users that are missing this nuance of the challenge instructions. Even I missed it.

Perhaps time to get a staffer to reword the challenge?
