Zane is ordering a sundae at a restaurant, and the server tells him that he can have up to five toppings: a cherry, hot fudge, caramel, peanuts, and butterscotch sauce. Since he cannot decide how many of the toppings he wants, he tells the server to surprise him. If the server randomly chooses which toppings to add, what is the probability that Zane gets just caramel and butterscotch sauce? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.
