### Probability in Spelling Bee Order Selection

**Question:**
If you know the names of the remaining five students in the spelling bee, what is the probability of randomly selecting an order and getting the order that is used in the spelling bee?

**Probability Calculation:**
\[ P(\text{selecting the correct spelling bee order}) = \]

(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

---

**Explanation:**
You are given a scenario where you need to calculate the probability of correctly guessing the specific order of five students in a spelling bee. The answer should be inputted as an integer or a simplified fraction. This calculation involves understanding permutations and the basic principles of probability. 

There are no graphs or diagrams included in this problem.
