Why doesnt 'admitted' equal True?

I'm really not sure what I am doing wrong here. I keep getting stuck on minor technicalities like this.

conditions.py 
admitted = None
age = 27
if age <= 13:
  admitted = True

I was able to solve it by changing

if age <= 13:

to

if age >= 13:

I totally missed that I put the wrong symbol there.

admitted = None

  admitted = True

this is the answer you didnt need to make a variable named age cause the instructions say that they will make it. also it appears you have your < in the wrong direction hope this helps.
