1.  Calculate how many second there are in one day!  Hint: 24 hours = 24 (60 min) = 24(60)(60 seconds)
2.  Divide that number by 32 seconds / drop.
 
The answer will be a number of drops because seconds ÷ (seconds/drop) = drops.

Assuming that the first drip is at t0, 1 must be added to (24)(60)(60)/32.

No, I don't think the last drip of your calculation would count, because the 24 hrs. would expire instantaneously.
