I would suggest 4clojure.com for the following reasons: 1. Problems are tuned towards learning idioms of Clojure 2. In many cases problems are tuned towards making you thinking functionally. 3. Once you solve the problem, you get to compare it with some of the other submitters. This point is crucial, since this will help you appreciate how some of the solutions submitted by other members can be so small and elegant. For me learning from the submitted code of other and comparing the though process I went through in coming up with my solution was a big take away. 4. It feels good to be on the first page of top users page, once you solved the 150 odd problems.
Cons: 1. A solution to almost all 4Clojure problems is just a google search away. So, stay away from the temptation to look for the answers. You will be surprised with how different your solution would have looked. For further proof, I noticed many of the problems on this site are inspired by this list: http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~meidanis/courses/mc336/2006s2/funcional/L-99_Ninety-Nine_Lisp_Problems.html So good luck!
