It needs something to break the else statement. So say the customer age is 10. They are less than 13 so the price would be set to 5.00. They are not greater or equal to 65 so nothing happens there. As the statement didn't break at the first statement it carries on to the final part and sets the price to 10.00. This just highlights that you need a break in your if statement or someway of getting out of them.
