It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing

I am getting an error message: Opps! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

What am I doing wrong?

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

Hey ilyaandrosh.

You don't need the statement after your "else:". You're essentially asking it to check whether or not age is greater than or equal to 13 and you're asking it to check if age equals 13. Regardless, you're basically asking your if/else statement to return both True and False in this specific case because you're using >= as well as =. Try running your code with just...

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