Mr. Kahm

"What's 131+42 again? I forget."

―Mr. Kahm, Riddle School

Mr. Kahm is a teacher who works at Riddle Elementary School in the "Special Class for the Insane."

History[]

Riddle School[]

With his class essentially acting as the school's class for kids in detention, Mr. Kahm had only one student at the time: Phil Eggtree, who was sent there after teasing a fellow student in the school cafeteria. Mr. Kahm attempts to teach him math, but much of his understanding in the subject was flawed (as shown by him writing 3 + 0 = 2 on his chalkboard) and he would often ask math equations to Phil because he himself didn't know what the answers were. Despite his low intelligence, he does know when a student is about to leave his classroom when they head straight toward the door. His high exudation of stupidity eventually drove Phil to so much boredom that he decided to escape the school. Mr. Kahm is asked by Phil if he could use the pencil sharpener, to which he replies "Only one person at a time!" However, for the rest of the school day, Mr. Kahm fails to realize that Phil had asked that question to take advantage of his stupidity and escape the room.

Sometime in between the events of Riddle School and Riddle Transfer 2, Richy was put into Mr. Kahm's class after constantly ditching his post as the hall monitor. While it is unknown as to what happened to Mr. Kahm following the first game's events, it is presumed that he fled from Riddle Elementary following Quiz's takeover of the school.

Trivia[]

His last name is a pun of the word "calm."
Mr. Kahm is described by Phil Eggtree as someone who "asks a lot of questions because he doesn't know any of the answers."
In the non-canon special features menu of Riddle School 4, it is stated that Mr. Kahm was never a smart person, and after discovering how small the percentage of drinkable water on the planet was, he decided to never drink anything again.^[1]
It's unknown how Mr. Kahm kept his job despite not knowing anything.
