Depends on how ugly the other guys are at the bar.

64-1. Although the more I think about it, it’s probably 10.667 -1

6 ways of getting exactly 5 tails. So 6 out of 2 to the 6th or 6 / 64. Just under 10 percent.

That’s the probability, not the odds.

I’m very lucky flipping coins so for me 100%.

50/50. Either it happens or it won't.
