The instructions say to test "if age is 13 or more", so you have the "more" part but you still need to include when it is 13. But they also say that when the condition meets the test the code "sets admitted to True", you'll need to do that instead of the print (you won't need to print anything for this challenge*.

Also, don't remove the code line that was provided to set the initial value of admitted.

admitted = None if age >= 13 "sets admitted to True"

why is this wrong

With no formatting, it's not possible to tell if your indentation is correct. But assuming that it is, your "if" line is missing the colon at the end, and the code that sets admitted to True would not be words in quotes but would look like this:

    admitted = True

Use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:   Or watch this video on code formatting.

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

Now this says that is incorrect!!!!!!!!!

Please use formatting when posting code, otherwise it's impossible to see if the indentation is correct.

But otherwise it looks like you forgot the colon after the "else".
