If else condition is not working

In chaleenge part 2 if else condition is not working. They need first task have to pass in second one but they also need to execute the else block instead of first one. How it's even possible....

 admitted = None
 age = 16
 if age >= 13:
     admitted = True
 else:
     admitted = False

In first task they need to change the value of "admitted" variable to true and in second task they need to add else block and change the value of "admitted" variable to False. How?? Please Help...............

Hi Af,

Don't declare a value for age. The challenge will pass in its own value for age. By setting it to 16, the code will never evaluate to false. e.g.

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