Task 2

lines 1-3 task 1 passes, when lines 4-5 added during task 2 error occurs saying "task 1 no longer passing. Tried a few variations to the code and can't get it to work. task 1 "I'm going to create a variable named age. I need you to make an if condition that sets admitted to True if age is 13 or more." Task 2 "OK, one more. Add an else to your if. In the else, set admitted to False."

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

Python's language was created for ease and readability. Indentation is very specific and required for everything. With that being said, your else clause is indented too far in. Try removing the tab for only this line.

admitted = None
if age >= 13:
    admitted = 'True'
    else: # Unindented is causing the error here
    admitted = 'False'

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

admitted= None

if age >= 13:
   admitted = True
else:
    admitted = False        # Notice true and false are boolean values not strings, remove the quotes around them
