One resource that has helped me understanding the ITTOs is this methodology (it is really an skeleton of a methodology):

http://pmbok.metocube.com/mc/element/view-web/Project+Management+Methodology

You can navigate to the page of a process, document, etc…, try to remember all the relations it has with other elements in the pmbk and see if you were right.

Your “input_value” can definitely be waaay simpler.
Try something like this:

/*Returns 1 if n is allowed in position [a,b] of sudoku[9][9]
and 0 if not*/
int can_put_n_here(int n, int sdku[][9] ,int a, int b)
{
int i;
for(i=0; i<9; ++i){
if(sdku[a][i]==n || sdku[i][b]==n || sdku[3*(a/3)][3*(b/3)+9*(i/3)+(i % 3)]==n)
return(0);
}
return(1);
}

For a given n, a and b and for a given 9X9 matrix sdku,
it checks if n is allowed to be put in the position[a][b].
If it is, it returns 1. If it is not, it returns 0.

Edwin,
I recently (today) took the PMP exam for the 2nd time. I unfortunately did not pass. On my drive home from the testing center, I decided to immediately identify resources on the web that would prove helpful to me in passing the exam… I downloaded your study notes and took a cursory glance at them. I hope to pass on my third attempt in a few weeks. Thanks for posting your experience.

Generally speaking, 16k per month is a regular salary for PMs in China IT resource market. As I know, some IT companies only offer 12K. Of course you can find some good job in 1st class non-IT companies for 20K even above. BTW, where are you working now? HK? US? China?
