[Arman777]

Me and my friend are trying to find some math problems that we solve for fun it could be logical problems or geometric or algebraic, any sites that you can offer me ?

You could check out 'Mathematical Puzzles: A Connoisseur's Collection' by Peter Winkler.

I think we have still some unsolved ones in our challenge threads:

Martin Gardner has some very good stuff in this vein. You should be able to pick up a book of his very cheaply or maybe find some of the old articles he wrote on the Internet. While his original writings are tagged Recreational Math, I think some of them became actual subfields of mathematical inquiry.

I am also a fan of Mosteller's 50 Challenging Problems in Probability which may be the best 5 bucks I've spent.

The weekly problems in 538's The Riddler are fun (but can end up eating up a lot more time than you budgeted):

There are a lot of open problems here:

still including, I think, a prize to whoever solves the origami challenge.

The books and the links will be enough for us. But in any case If you want to share sure, I wouldn't say no.

Thanks :)
