It's a tough question here I know. But the lady chose mathematics because she thought it had to do with numbers. Not a totally wrong train of thought, but that train did jump the track to get to the wrong answer. The image just happened to catch the coin background; they had backgrounds for the other choices too.

When I tell someone I am a Numismatist, most look at me as if I had said I am a serial killer.
Can you imagine their reaction if you told them that you're a Philatelist?

Why do YOU assume they are mutually exclusive?

They must have known the average Numismatist is as far removed from a Trapeze artist as is possible. Very funny.
And those who know enough but have an agenda might go ad hominem and point out that Walter Breen was a big numismatist.
I thought maybe , 'numismatists' is to coin collectors as 'spelunkers' is to cavers. The fancy term mostly used by pretentious outsiders...
