Nov 17, 2017 at 9:50 comment added Oliver Nash I find Math Olympiad problems a fun source of recreational mathematics. Furthermore, the IMO keeps such good statistics on contestants' performances for each question that this data can help pick a question that is easier / harder etc. I put together this page to help pick a "fun" problem.

Dec 22, 2013 at 1:27 comment added Noam D. Elkies This looks like a community-wiki problem of the "potentially-big list" type. To add to the list, any of Martin Gardner's books based on his "Mathematical Games" columns in Scientific American will contain good recreational problems at various levels.
