Bunch of problems like this are in the book "Problem-Solving Strategies" by Arthur Engel [1], I believe even including this particular one. Fun book.

Or anything with Martin Gardner's name on it. All worth reading.

This book is a classic one for kids participating in math competitions in Romania. I once had to solve a variation of this problem at a math contest when I was in 6th grade.
