Hint
Start by imaging a sign saying 'BrainBashers Puzzles And Illusions'.
Answer
I commissioned an artist to paint a sign for BrainBashers that said 'BrainBashers Puzzles And Illusions', however, they made a terrible mistake.
The gaps between 'Puzzles' and 'And', and 'And' and 'Illusions' weren't the same, so the sign seemed oddly out of balance.

Puzzle 3
A large freshwater reservoir has two types of drainage system. Small pipes and large pipes.
6 large pipes, on their own, can drain the reservoir in 12 hours.
6 small pipes, on their own, can drain the reservoir in 18 hours.
How long will 6 large pipes and 6 small pipes take to drain the reservoir?
Answer
In the phrase 'my bucket and your spade', the gap between 'my' and 'and' is the same as the gap between 'and' and 'spade', namely one word.
Indeed, this logic can be continued to give the following sentence. In the first sentence the gap between 'and and' and 'and and' is seven words, et cetera.
