Hint: Think of the phrase 'my bucket and spade'.

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.
