Gene Simmons Smarter Than A 5th Grader…but not by much.

I had to add that last part in to the title just so I didn’t sound as if I like Gene Simmons. I’d hate you guys to get the wrong idea. Gene appeared on “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?” hosted by Jeff Foxworthy last Friday November 7th.

Gene won $500,000 for the charity Glazer Pediatrics AIDS Foundation. He also had a chance to win $1,000,000 but declined to risk it by answering the question “What does the K represent on the Periodic Table of Elements?“. He said that if he would have had to answer he would have said “Krypton“. Yeah, you laugh, but how many of you could actually answer that question? Furthermore how many of your children in 5th grade could answer that? (The answer is Potassium)

Gene played it well and 500k went to a good cause. Can’t hate the man for that, right? Check out the video below, while you still can.
