OK, one more. Add an else to your if. In the else, set admitted to False.

I do not understand what I got wrong in the if else statement, could you please provide me with an answer and why it works, thanks

conditions.py 
admitted = None

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

Hey, there is a colon missing from the end of the if statement on the line "if age >= 13". This leads to a syntax error. You also have incorrect indentation. Here is the correctly formatted code:

admitted = None

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

For some reason it says task 1 is no longer passing
