Yeah like Chris mentioned above it is your else that needs to be dedented to be at the same tab stop as the if. However, a way to do this with fewer lines of code would be to do something like this:

admitted = False
if age > 12:
    admitted = True

This would allow you to remove the else block altogether.

Hi! It looks like your else is intended too far. It should align with the if.
