I want to do tricky physics and maths questions that require only A-level knowledge of maths and physics to solve. Questions that don't have a straightforward answer and will help me to develop my logic and problem-solving skills. I'm looking books, online resources and etc.

Try this one, only high school knowledge and creativity must be used (don't spoil yourself by scrolling down though!):

Try working your way through Goldsteins book on Classical Mechanics. A lot of students have done this to improve their understanding of physics.
