I guess I read that as fewer than that many schools that offer the mens version or an option for coed programs. surely there are more than 200 womens programs.

My niece in Virginia fenced for a while and was talking about a potential scholarship.

I though "fencing? Really?"

With all apologies to the integrity of the game, one of the nice things about being out of it, especially on a question like this where I'd be guessing anyway (I can be very sure of some correct answers but don't know with 100% certainty), is that I can just pick my favorite song from among my guess pool and not be too worried about it.

Pedantically, yes, but practically no. Generally I don't think humans consider themselves animals because our brain was big enough to name them (non human animals). In our languages anyway.

No, I honestly don't think that's pedantry. If the question had said mammals... game on. Humans are not considered animals, by definition.
