This is a huge meme in the old school RuneScape community. Some important drops are as rare as 1/5000 but people always say “you either get the drop or you don’t”

The answer is that we can't know because each of those can have different skill levels. However, given that this seems to be a question t prove knowledge about odds of 1 in 5, let's assume that they are all equally skilled, then it's 1/5 = 20%.
