In this paper, we derive an explicit solution of the stationary prediction with expert advice PDE for five experts. The formula is given in three regions. In the first two regions, it is the four-expert solution plus a single integral with an elementary positive density. In the third region, it is a finite sum of hyperbolic products whose coefficients are determined by one scalar quadrature. Our formula establishes that the direction $(1,0,1,0,0)$ is optimal throughout the ordered sector, and that the COMB strategy $(1,0,1,0,1)$ is optimal only on a lower dimensional subset of the sector (where $x_1=x_2$ and $x_3=x_4$). This disproves the COMB optimality conjecture of Gravin, Peres and Sivan. The verification of the Hamiltonian inequalities is a tedious task, part of which is completed with a computer assisted proof. The verification reduces to 21 scalar inequalities, which we prove using 147 exact rational Bernstein polynomial certificates. The exact certificates and their independent arithmetic checks are included in a supplement to this paper, and a Lean 4 formalization machine-checks the verification and both main theorems, apart from the viscosity characterization.
