I think the problem is that you're assigning a value to the age variable - the first challenge question says that it's doing that in the background - you don't need it there. It's most likely failing because your code is writing over the value that is set behind the scenes that the challenge is using to test. If you remove the age=13 line, it should pass.
Jennifer Nordell
Treehouse TeacherHi there! The answer by Katie is partially correct. You are overwriting what the challenge is sending in. But above and beyond that, the condition is supposed to allow anyone in who is 13 or older. This means the condition should be if age >= 13:
Hope this helps!

19,141 PointsOoh, you're right, good catch - I had just done this one so I thought I didn't need to read the directions again. That'll teach me - thanks, Jennifer!

Courses Plus Student 7,526 PointsThank you very much for your answer, however I have removed the age = 13 sentence and the system is now responding Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.
Katie Wood
19,141 PointsThat's right, there was one more thing - Jennifer caught that one. The challenge asks for 13 or older, which means you also need to have >= instead of ==.
