Else portion not out for me.

Im trying to do the else portion of this statement i keep getting task one no longer working when i put the condition as 'age <= 13:' or even no condition, what should i do?

conditions.py 
admitted = None

if age >= 13:
    admitted = True
else age <= 13:
    admitted = False

The "else" statement doesn't take a condition because it is true if the "if" statement is false. So it should read:

else:
    admitted = False

I don't see anything else wrong with your code, but I have occasionally found that by erasing the all of the code and pasting identical code, copied from somewhere else, into its place, it lets it pass.

Sorry, but I don't have any other ideas.

Well, I just redid the challenge, again, and I found that because had two spaces between "if" and "age >= 13" it failed me. Maybe you have an extra space somewhere.
