What am I doing wrong here? I keep getting the error message saying "Task 1 no longer passes."
admitted = None
if age >= 13: admitted = True
else: admitted = False

The problem lies with your indentation. Python is very specific with the indentation. The way you have the code written, you just need to remove the indentation from the else statement, and you are also missing the semicolons at the end of the statements.
Just a hint, the convention with Python coding is line break and indentation for different blocks of code. It is not common to do an entire if / else statement using one line syntax.
So, your code is correct except for the indent, but it would also follow the common rules of Python to have it this way:
admitted = None
if age >= 13:
admitted = True;
else:
admitted = False;
Hope this helps. Keep Coding! :)
