It could be delivered by mail, email, by hand, or even by pigeon.

Only one color, but not one size, Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies. Present in sun, but not in rain, Doing no harm, and feeling no pain. What is it?
I have two objects that look and feel exactly the same, however one is heavier than the other. How can you tell which one is the heavier one without using a scale?
An old man, Dave, lives alone in a flat. Because of his age , he is not able to move comfortably and hence most of the things used to be delivered to his house.
On Friday while delivering the mail, the postman feels something suspicious in the flat and try to look inside through the key hole and he saw the bloody body of the old man.
Homicide arrived the scene. On the outside of flat, they find two bottles of warm milk, Tuesday newspaper, some unopened mails and some gifts.
Homicide waste no time and find the murderer almost immediately.
How did they do it, and who was the murderer?
Newspaper delivery man was the murderer because of absence of Wednesday and Thursday missing newspaper.
This indicates he already know that there is no one to read it.
You have 3 boxes. One of them contains a prize. You were allowed to pick just one of them.
You pick - and it's empty.
With 2 boxes left, you now have one box in your hand and another box in front of you. If given the chance to exchange your box with the box in front of you, would you do it? Why, and why not?
(The 'Google Riddles' are interview questions those who wish to get hired were asked).
In the beginning, with 3 boxes, things were simple. You had a chance of 1 in 3 to find the prize. NOW we know that one of the boxes is empty but you still made a guess of 1 in 3, now you have a new choice of 1 in 2. Your probability goes up and that is why you SHOULD CHANGE THE BOX.
Don't feel bad if you disagree, this riddle has been hotly debated.
Today is more windy than yesterday, will a return flight take the same time, less time, or the same amount of time to complete?
(The 'Google Riddles' are interview questions those who wish to get hired were asked).
Let's do a worked example. Lets say our plane has to travel 300 miles there and 300 miles back. It has a standard cruising speed of 600mph. In the case of no wind it will travel the 600 miles in 1 hour exactly. Simple enough. Let us say that the wind speed is 100mph so the plane will be wind assisted to 700mph and slowed to 500mph - Wind Assisted: 300 miles at 700mph takes 0.429 hours - Wind Slowed: 300 miles at 500mph takes 0.6 hours - Total Time: 1.029 hours
