The answer is one chance in 2^5 or 1 in 32.
Notice that the chances are the same as flipping five heads in a row.

It would be the same as getting 5 tails or 5 heads in a row. Multiply the probability for each toss by the next one until you've finished. 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2, or 1/32.

1/32
either a tail or head is 1/2 on each toss
each event is independent
to calculate the probablity of n independent events occuring, multiply them
so....1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2 = 1/32
