Rocker Gene Simmons missed out on a big $1 million prize when he was stumped by a kids' science question on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? The Kiss star wowed viewers and audience members with his general knowledge of 5th grade questions when he appeared on the show on Friday night, and quickly raked in $500,000 in prize money.
But he chose to keep the cash when he was befuddled by what the letter K represents on the Periodic Table of Elements - and win a million.
As it turned out, he was wise to walk away - he would have guessed krypton and the correct answer was potassium.
Simmons will donate his prize money to the Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation
