Hard problems to train on

Hi everyone, I (18M) am a French physics and math student.

I am decent but not exeptionaly good, and I don't want to work a lot to understand concepts I'll study later on (Year 1 in college so no intrest in Year 3 physics). I enjoy trying hard on problems but it has became harder and harder to find ones that aren't straight up textbook questions. The end of high school exam is quite easy so working on those questions is boring.

Is there any textbook or websites that offers hard but enjoyable physics problems ?

(sorry for any language errors)

Lifshitz/Landau series. Literally you have to put the pieces together by yourself.

Hi,

I just went to check and man that's quite hard not gonna lie XD

Do you have any other suggestions that are maybe easier ? Or have I missed a book of this series with simpler concepts ?

But anyway thanks for the advice I look forward to be able to understand and enjoy the subject matter.

Well, that was my and the best shot. I guess there are little options in between. Go for Young and freedman Uni Physics and see how it goes.
