32. dunno, I was pretty doggone busy working in 1987
33. Burning Man

37. It's going to be either Belgium or France. Let's go with Belgium
38. South Africa
39. New York
40. Greatest amount of railway is very odd terminology. It could have various interpretations. I will go with Germany nevertheless.
