I can't find this anywhere in my copy of yesterday's Telegraph - can anyone give me an idea of why I'm blind?

In the Weekend section
Question Author
Thanks, Oldred, but not in mine. What page number?
Foxwall, You're not the only one. We thought something was missing, as it's the last Saturday of the month, but only seeing the various questions, and yours, sparked me to check the paper again. I have now realised we have no pages 11 and 12 in the Weekend section. Clearly some copies didn't get the single sheet.
Question Author
Thanks, Pumbah, I'm glad not to be a singular idiot, but that's not the answer. I have every single page from 1 to 18 and there's no trace of it anywhere. I'll see if I can raise the Telegraph on the phone - watch this space!
the page numbers are X1 to X4 if that is any help.
Question Author
We're getting there because the Weekend section pages are W1-18, so the £500 one isn't in the Weekend section, but, I would guess, in a special Puzzles/Crossword section with pages 1-4. Therefore Oldred and ubasses have got this section and Pumbah and I haven't. For Pumbah's interest, he/she has also missed Germane Greer and Sarah Rainey on Ben Fogle's swim. Hope they weren't high on his/her list.

Got a rather grumpy voice at the Telegraph who asked me to hold on. Gave up after 4 minutes, so hostilities will br resumed on Monday morning.
This may help (or cause more confusion):
In my copy I had the weekend section (pages W1 to W18) but in the middle was a 'Higher Education' supplement. pages H1 to H4. There may have been a temptation to recycle these pages, but the Brain Games section was inside this.
Check if you've still got the Higher Education pages.

Cheers
Foxwall, forget the phone call. The supplement X1-X4 was within the Education supplement, which was, itself, originally contained within the Weekend section. Perhaps like us you threw out the Education supplement as of no interest, not realising there as ANOTHER supplement within it. Whoever decided on that order of things needs shooting, or worse!
Thanks, Tinker, you just beat me to it.
And thanks, Foxwall. Because I had to go through every discarded section of the paper, I also found the missing pages from the Weekend section. Luckily it hadn't yet been used for the cat's litter-tray!
Question Author
What you'd call a great cooperative effort by all concerned, I think. Pumbah has the right conclusion. Excuse me while I go out to the bin!
If it's of any help & with apologies for the poor quality -

Thanks L-i-K
Perhaps you bought the Guardian?????
Go wash your mouth out, Shoota! Our cat wouldn't **** on the Grauniad. She's very fussy.
