Chapter number or note title: Chapter 0, Exercise 2, Footnote 24

Page number: 17

Error description: The footnote says "Ja, das ist das [...]maschine". However, the German language has 3 different articles (der, die das). In this particular case, you want "die" instead of "das" [...]maschine.

Suggested fix (if any):
Ja, das ist die Subatomar[...]maschine.

+1, and I remember a rule of thumb from German class that the last word in a compound is what determines the gender.
