I am looking for a site that publishing riddles and problems such as Project Euler publishes problems in computer science. Is there any similar site that is hardcore in the area of physics?

This site has some good problems set, but it seems like there isn't a community and sharing of solutions/ideas like in Project Euler.

One nice source of physics problems is books which catalog questions from graduate school qualifying exams. For example:

Another source of tricky problems is:

The contest is sadly extinct, but problems (and solutions!) from the contests that took place 1995 - 2004 are available online.

Just like the example student offered, this one isn't active any more, but makes a nice compilation:

You might also try this site for a "physics problem of the week" kind of thing: www.fearofphysics.com, although the problems seem like they've been running for just a couple of months.
