What does it mean when Treehouse says Task 1 no longer passing.?

I don't understand why task #1 is no longer passing. Thanks in advance.

conditions.py 
admitted = None
if age > 10:
    admitted = True
    print(admitted)
else age <= 15:
    admitted = False

Hi Ruben,

That type of error usually means that you've made an error on your current task which is not letting task 1 pass anymore. In this case, Alexander pointed out the error. You can only have conditions with if and elif

Also, the condition for task 1 was supposed to be if the age is greater than or equal to 13.

Tagging Kenneth Love , task 1 is passing with the condition age > 10

The else clause shouldn't take a condition.

The else clause automatically gets called if the if condition's value isn't true.

It will just cause an error :)

Try removing the condition from the else clause.

Good luck! ~alex
