Regarding the luge question #24:

http://www.answers.com/topic/1924-winter-olympics

The 1924 Winter Olympics weren't declared to be an Olympiad until 1925 (list of Winter Olympic events started in 1925). The very first gold medal awarded in the 1924 games was for the 500 meter speedskating event.

Just a thought.

I'm going to guess #32 is Bono.
