Wu starts out with exactly one coin. Wu flips every coin he has [i]at once[/i] after each year. For each heads he flips, Wu receives a coin, and for every tails he flips, Wu loses a coin. He will keep repeating this process each year until he has $0$ coins, at which point he will stop. The probability that Wu will stop after exactly five years can be expressed as $\frac{a}{2^b}$, where $a, b$ are positive integers such that $a$ is odd. Find $a+b$. [i]Proposed by Bradley Guo[/i]
