I'm not sure what that task is asking for.

I did all the work up to this point and I know this task is supposed to be based on concepts in previous videos but I'm really not sure what this task is asking for. I wrote a random line of code, sort of a shot in the dark. Any pointers?

conditions.py 
admitted = True 
if age >=13:

Hi there! You're really close here. First, you changed their original line. Going forward in these challenges it's important to try not to do anything the challenges don't explicitly ask for.

You know how many services like Facebook and Steam require users to be 13 years or older to use them? Well let's pretend this is for that purpose. So we're going to start with the assumption that the user is not 13 and disallow them entrance. Then if they are 13+ we let them in. So take a look at some pseudo-code and see if you can get it.

person is not admitted
if person is of age 13 or older:
      person is admitted is equal to true

Hope this helps, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
