Is there a collection of the weekly problems from the Guardian? That would be interesting.

Did you try this link: Alex Bellos's Monday puzzle?
There is also this one from the New York Times: Numberplay.

Probably they were only trying to be funny, but the caption to the picture that illustrates the Guardian's article is very disparaging.
