Not recognizing code.

It seems the system is not able to recognize my code.

conditions.py 
admitted = None

if admitted != age:
    admitted = True
else:
    print("Hi")

Hi there, the below code worked for me. It seems that you're not comparing age to 13, so the if statement has nothing to return. Then, I'm not sure why you have it printing "Hi". When I looked at the challenge it said the else: statement to evaluate to False. Good luck!

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