Guesses for new set:
31. Albert Einstein's brain!!!
32. beef/hamburger
33. Kiribati Nation - I have been there at least three times, maybe four, on South Pacific cruises. Here is a photo of me and Bigdog on Tabuaeran, also known as Fanning Island, in 2010. We are carrying backpacks full of school supplies and toothbrushes for the children. Because of its low elevation, it is a country VERY threatened by rising seas, and has been in the news a time or two in the past few years because they could not find another country to take in their low income, low education population of (wonderful) brown people. Dang, here come the tears.
34. Natalie Wood
35. 1990's
36. New York
37. 30
38. ruby

44. dunno
45. Field of Dreams
46. 1943
47. Wales

49. cosplay - that is an educated guess. People on Twitter (I go there so you don't have to) tend to use it derisively to describe people who are oddly dressed, but I have never bothered to look it up. Oh, and also, the word combines the notion of costumes to play a role.
50. I seem to recall that might have been Simon and Garfunkle
