Hi Stewart,

The challenge already has an age variable so there's no need to create it or assign a value to it.

This challenge wants you to test if the value of age is 13 or more and set admitted to True if it is. If you override the value contained in age you'll upset the tests behind the challenge, causing your code to fail. Just use age without creating it or changing it.

Make sense?

Steve.
