You need to do the add-to-list *after* the variable is defined. The
variable is defined in org-list.el, so one way to do it is

         (require 'org-list)
         (add-to-list 'org-checkbox-statistics-hook (function 
ndk/checkbox-list-complete))

This is the sledge hammer approach - and depending on exactly when it's
done, it might cause other problems (e.g. it should probably be done
after the rest of org is loaded). There are various other ways to do it
more gently - e.g.

(eval-after-load 'org-list
     '(add-to-list 'org-checkbox-statistics-hook (function 
ndk/checkbox-list-complete)))

I'll probably modify the faq to say this (actually, I think the whole 
kit-n-caboodle
should be moved over to org-hacks and a link should be planted in org-faq 
pointing to
the org-hacks entry.)
