my interpretation of patick's formula is that it is taking the FIRST word from the string and seeing if THAT word is in the whole string at least 2x. So with "Dave Smith and Sue Booker and Dave Moon" it would find "Dave" and then see if "Dave ... Dave" exists in the string and in this case would reply true because "Dave" is in there 2x.
