Brain teaser

This is a brain teaser someone sent me years ago. I saved it because I thought it was cool. See how many you can guess. (Clearly you can look these up on the internet, but that's cheating.)

Example: 52= W in a Y --> 52= Weeks in a Year

1. 26= L of the A
2. 7= D of the W
3. 1001= A N
4. 12= S of the Z
5. 54= C in a D (with J)
6. 9= P in the S S
7. 88= P K
8. 13= S on the A F
9. 32= D F at which W F
10. 18= H on a G C
11. 90= D in a R A
12. 200= D for P G in M
13. 8= S on a S S
14. 3= B M (S H T R)
15. 4= Q in a G
16. 24= H in a D
17. 1= W in a U
18. 5= D in a Z C
19. 57= H V
20. 11= P on a F T
21. 1000= W that a P is W
22. 29= D in F in a L Y
23. 64= S on a C B
24. 40= D and N of the G F
25. 76= T in the B P
26. 50= W to L Y L
27. 99= B of B on the W
28. 60= S in a M
29. 1= H on a U
30. 9= J on the S C
31. 7= B for S B
32. 21= D on a D
33. 7= W of the A W
34. 15= M on a D M C
