The challenge states: Create a variable named age that contains your age.

Be sure you do not have spaces BEFORE you define and set your variable age to 32

age = 32

should pass as long as you have no spaces before the declaration of age.

Ah yes, that happens to me as well. My internet is really terrible where I live at the moment. But also I have found that If you attempt to open the same challenge by accident in another tab it can make your current challenge error out.
