Puzzling Puzzle

This test does not measure intelligence, fluency with words nor
mathematical ability. It will, however, give you some gauge of your
mental flexibility and creativity. In the years since this test was
developed, it has been found that few people could solve more than
half on the first day. Many reported getting answers long after the
test had been set aside, at unexpected moments when their minds were
relaxed.

This is an example:
16 = O in a P
Answer: 16 = ounces in a pound

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
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 on a U
18. 5 = D in a Z C
19. 57 = H V
20. 11 = P on a F T B
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

I will post the answers at a later date, or you can ask me to email you the answers.
