Treehouse TeacherIt'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.

Thanks,

Courses Plus Student 345 PointsNot 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!

Treehouse Moderator 68,427 PointsIn 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.

Treehouse TeacherThanks 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! :)
