6 ways of getting exactly 5 tails. So 6 out of 2 to the 6th or 6 / 64. Just under 10 percent
This is the correct answer. No idea why you're getting downvoted.

Yeah I am with this answer too. Not sure how 3/29 got declared correct.

He calculated probability.
Odds = Probability/(1-Probability)
O = (6/64) / (1-(6/64))
O = (3/32)/(29/32)
O = 96/928
0 = 3/29
Odds = Probability/(1-Probability)
O = (6/64) / (1-(6/64))
O = (3/32)/(29/32)
O = 96/928
0 = 3/29
