Welcome to IWETHEY!

New What's the difficulty?
Your entry should read:

tranquility.lan. IN LOC 54 34 48 N 1 13 48 W

And that's from reading this:
3. Master File Format

The LOC record is expressed in a master file in the following format:

<owner> <TTL> <class> LOC ( d1 [m1 [s1]] {"N"|"S"} d2 [m2 [s2]]
{"E"|"W"} alt["m"] [siz["m"] [hp["m"]
[vp["m"]]]] )

(The parentheses are used for multi-line data as specified in [RFC
1035] section 5.1.)

where:

d1: [0 .. 90] (degrees latitude)
d2: [0 .. 180] (degrees longitude)
m1, m2: [0 .. 59] (minutes latitude/longitude)
s1, s2: [0 .. 59.999] (seconds latitude/longitude)
alt: [-100000.00 .. 42849672.95] BY .01 (altitude in meters)
siz, hp, vp: [0 .. 90000000.00] (size/precision in meters)

If omitted, minutes and seconds default to zero, size defaults to 1m,
horizontal precision defaults to 10000m, and vertical precision
defaults to 10m. These defaults are chosen to represent typical
ZIP/postal code area sizes, since it is often easy to find
approximate geographical location by ZIP/postal code.


Hint: no decimals or negatives. :-)

"Ah. One of the difficult questions."

New Gotcha.
Twas the no decimals nor negatives bit that threw me :)
