var age= prompt("How old are you");
if(age<13)
{console.log("you can play but I am not responsible.");}
else
{console.log("Lets get it!");}
console.log("You are at a Justin Bieber concert, and you hear this lyric 'Lace my shoes off, start racing.'");
console.log("Suddenly, Bieber stops and says, 'Who wants to race me?'");
var userAnswer= prompt("Do you want to race Justin Beiber on stage?");
if{(userAnswer==="yes");{console.log("You and Bieber start racing. It's neck and neck! You win by a shoelace!");}
else console.log{("Oh no! Bieber shakes his head and sings 'I set a pace, so I can race without pacing.'");}
var feedback= prompt("How would you rate this game on a scale to 10");
if{(feedback>8)
