# not that complicated really
imagine if you were trying to work out something in, say litres per foot. you'd just end up with something in whatever dimensions are left after your multiplying and dividing (area, in this case - so square metres, or square feet, or whatever), with some conversion factor between the units

in your case, the number you get is also the number of teaspoons in the volume you describe.
just multiply each side of the equation by a light year to see why:
one (acre light year) in teaspoons
[an (acre light year) is just the volume you describe]

# I had no problem with the acre light year as a three dimensional volume
but what the hell is a litre foot?

# a litre foot would be a 4-dimensional length measurement
but i said litre per foot, so that's just 2-dimensional

if in doubt, just convert them all to one measurement system (like metres for length) and it soon all drops out

i like your sig, by the way. i don't think i've said yet

# The words "litre per foot, that's just 2-dimensional" are failing to correspond to anything I can imagine.
However, I should probably go to bed. I might get back to you about this.
