I do not understand task two of the exercise, when I set it to true it says admitted is not false. when I set admitted to False it says task 1 is no longer running.
admitted = None
age = 20
if age >= 13:
admitted = True
else:
admitted = False

29,502 PointsI am not understanding what i am dong wrong here:
admitted = None
age = 30
if age >= 13:
admitted = True
else:
admitted = False
keeps telling me admitted is not False... it won't be, ever. What value is age supposed to be set to?
[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsYou have set a value to age that is interfering with the grader. Comment out age = 30
