I was playing around with harmonics the other day and came across one just at the edge of the soundhole closest to the bridge. I know relatively where the 24th fret harmonic is on my acoustic, but what fret would that one be technically over? 31st maybe?

Over the imaginary 36th. Every time you split the scale in half you get another set of octave-harmonics. Halfway between the string end-points is always 12 more frets. If you measure it on a guitar with 24 or more frets, the second group of 12 frets is half as long as the first group of 12 frets, etc.
