Hello Jing Zhou! So, it looks like you wrote the wrong number, or the wrong comparison operator for your if statement. Right now, it is checking if the number is GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 12, but that's not actually what you want. You want it to either be greater than 12, or greater than or equal to 13. You can change that by doing one of the two lines of code:

Either:

admitted = None
if age > 12:
    admitted = True
else:
    admitted = False

Or:

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

That should do the trick. Hope that helps!
