man thats cool
I agree, very clever .
wait, question, how is this a riddle?
I don't know, at the time it i thought it was the best place to put it,
Ah, nice. I was thinking maybe it was Monopoly money lol
Great teaser! I agree that this really isn't a riddle. Great teaser, yet again!
for future reference, where should it go?
I'd say it should be trick.
I would say trick as well, but what about the answer that the bill were marked and that he could prove they were his
That was a good one... it was easy but still fun!! keep up the good work!!

i liked it, but i knew the answer directly, i think i heard it before!!!sorry

I don't get it. Shouldn't they take the 2 bills and nothing else?
Good teaser. I was thinkin mayb fake money. i like dis teaser alot! keep up da gud work!
Ha! I never even guessed that. Very clever. I can certainly understand why the robbers left them!
i like this on but like the other i thought it was fake money. oh yes and nicky101 they didn't take the bills because they were bills that you have to pay like you know when you get like the cable bill in the mail that is what type of bill it was. do you get it now?

I also thought monopoly money but hey good one.
How about the bills on two very expensive ducks, a robber probably wouldn't know how much they were worth.
nice one i liked it very much i had to put that in my favorits
Very clever, one of my favourites!!!
Very cute!!
LOVED IT
Great teaser! I never thought of that..
I thought they left the bills there, and they were like fake or something....
You got me, this time! Good one!
Sorry,I give this one a thumbs down.
Way to obvious to be fun. And it was a burglary not a robbery.
Farfetched - it would depend on where you live whether it was a burglary or a robbery. Different jurisdictions use different terms for things. For instance where I live NO ONE would call it an "electricity bill" we call it a "Hydro Bill"
IT was pretty easy to solve but I think this should be put in the "too many possible answers" category. Why do they have to be an electricity bill and a phone bill? Why not a cable bill and a credit card bill? Or a gas bill and a water bill? How about an insurance bill and a rent bill?

Too many possible answer for this one.
I didn't get it, also thought there were a variety of answers. But if the answers included the ones listed, then you Did get it! I like being reminded to think outside the box & stretch my mind a bit.
For those who aren't "getting it", it's two bills that must be PAYED, not two bills as in dollar bills that are worth money
Quite clever. I went off on " The answer better not be they were counterfeit " cause nothing would logiaclly go there. I enjoyed being fooled
Very very good. I didn't get it but I usually don't. Fun though. I did try but I gave up cause I just couldn't come up with anything. It was just too obvious I guess. I'm looking at bills too and not even thinking that kind of "bill"
Love it. Thanks.
Love it. Thanks.
Very tricky. I didn't get it.
Like many others, I thought it was Monopoly money - I like your answer better!
Monoploy money
I thought it was pretty obvious?
OK, I guess. Blah. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood. Especially since markw beat me AGAIN!
