How value do you input when asked "How many nodes need to be processed? " If 
it's less than 9, the remaining elements in the array will have random values 
("stack junk") which will probably be True at least half the time. Since your 
algorithm processes all the elements in the 9x9 array, the odds are good that 
every node will end up being True.

The correction is not to declare the array until you know how big it needs to be.
