And as Stivan pointed out, an "if" statement should end with a colon.

1,475 PointsI just saw your mistake, actually the 2 mistakes that you made. First, the "=>", just like what Steven Parker said below, it should be ">=" (Thanks @StevenParker) Second, in the video, you can see that he used this " if age > 10000:", as you can see there is this at the end of the number ":". So basically you forgot to put : at the end of the number 13.
admitted = None if age >= 13: admitted = True
Good luck!
