Output Tuple

Question

In the course "" this question ist asked:

###################
You are given a list of contacts, where each contact is represented by a tuple, with the name and age of the contact.
Complete the program to get a string as input, search for the name in the list of contacts and output the age of the contact in the format presented below:

Sample Input
John

Sample Output
John is 31
###################

As solution, this solution ist posted:

###################
name = input()

for x in contacts:
if name in x:
print(str(x[0]) + " is " + str(x[1]))
break
else:
print("Not Found")
###################

But this doesn't work, because in every case, the "Not Found" message is posted once.
The question don't want to get a "Not Found", if a Name is found.

How can I get the solution for it?
