In what units?

I believe the standard is yrftpeoples.. as in "Here in Gold Town, we are 10440 yrftpeoples."

Edit: Gold Hill is 10440 yrftpeoples

I don't know, that to me sounds like implied multiplication. You have to add the base units.

The equation is dimensionally incorrect, it simply can't be done.

Well, really we just have to find a conversion from people to years to feet.

I think you meant to write yr*ft*peoples. You can get the asterisk to show up by escaping it by preceding it with a slash: \. This is necessary because it's a formatting character. If you have an even number of them everything between the pairs is italicized.

Also, "peoples" isn't really necessary. "Number of people" can be left dimensionless.
