Hi all,
While there are good sites having interesting programming puzzles like mentioned in this SO post. But are there any specific to C/C++?
Some of the questions cheat by syntax highlighting keywords containing typos - many of us are used to detecting typos because they're not syntax highlighted in the way we expect. Though I should point out in the particular example I'm thinking of the typo does actually compile ;-)

Gimpels bug of the month page is an advertisement for their pclint product, but it still has interesting C++ 'find the bug' puzzels.

Take Washu's C++ quiz. It's only four questions, but most programmers get at least one wrong. In fact, many programmers get all of them wrong :)

Programming praxis has good problems though the answers are usually in LISP. However, I'm often more interested in reading the question since often it's some algorithm or field I don't know about.

I can't believe the UVA online judge hasn't been linked to yet; it's a massive archive of tens of thousands of problems, with an online judge that will score your answers in real-time, detailed stats for each question and a large forum.
Start with the problem sets, they'll keep you busy for several life times:
