This seems pretty straight forward, but the variable admitted passes first check, but adding the second piece ...

of code reveals an error about the first task no longer pass.

the is my code admitted = None if age >= 13: admitted = True else admitted = False

conditions.py 
admitted = None
if age >= 13:
    admitted = 1
    else admitted = 0

The code automatically copied in from your challenge is different from what you added yourself. But the issues they (might) have in common (since one isn't formatted it's hard to be sure):

  • an "else" statement should start in the same column as the matching "if"
  • an "else" should be followed by a colon (:)
  • everything that the else controls should be on following lines and indented more than the "else" itself
