Logic bug in "if" test in Python basics

I try setting age in task one, it passes. Then in task two it says don't set age, we'll do that for you. Alright... Try unsetting age, and I get an errror saying admitting isn't true. Come on guys

conditions.py 
admitted = None
age
if age > 13:
    admitted = True

Hi Sean! You don't need to set age and you need a True and a False assignment to admitted. You will need to check if age is greater than or equal to 13 rather than just greater than and you also need the else statement to set admitted to False.

Hope that helps - let me know if you have any questions and I am happy to help further ???
