What am I doing wrong, I keep getting the error that task one is no longer executing. my code is below: 

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

[MOD: added ```python markdown formatting -cf]

It's a bit hard to read your markdown here in the question, but I don't see anything blatantly incorrect. Could it be an indentation error, I wonder? Try this:

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

I see two separate lines saying admitted = None. If that's actually in there twice, it could cause it to fail.

Not sure why admitted was in twice I think that just is how it copied I only have it once in my code. Thanks for your help!

In the OP, the second admitted = None was added by the help system automatically adding the current state of the challenge code which was simply this statement. The code above it was manually added by Justin. After reformatting Justin's post, it becomes evident Jennifer's answer is correct.

Justin, also note that often the message "Task 1 is no longer passing" indicates a syntax error has been introduced that causes all tasks to fail. In this case, the syntax error is the improper indentation.

Thanks Chris Freeman for clearing up that markdown and explaining the "extra" admitted = None. I wasn't really sure why it was displaying that way... now I know! :)
