A Sudoku can have a non-unique solution with only 4 empty cells. Here's an example:
003496758
587132469
694875213
008763945
946581327
375924186
761259834

If the first 2 cells are filled with 1,2 the 2 in row 4 must be 2,1, and vice-versa.
So there can be up to 77 givens in a 9x9 sudoku without a unique solution.
Is there a solution for sudoku?
Well, there is a pattern to all of them... only one of each number in each column and in each row, and in each of the nine subareas. That's how you figure them out, by evaluating what could go in each square until you have it narrowed down and can be sure that only one number fits in a certain place... then you look for another, because hopefully that new number helped you narrow things down further, etc.

There are at least two sudoku variants that use inequalities. One is greater-than sudoku, in which there are traditionally no given numbers and less-than and greater-than symbols are placed between cells. Another more obscure variant is greater-than killer sudoku, in which inequalities are placed between groups of numbers, indicating that the sum of one group is greater than the sum of another. killersudokuonline.com is a great place to find both of these.

Should you ever have to guess in sudoku?
No, you are supposed to use logic deduction to come up with the answers.
It can seem impossible at times, but a sudoku should always be solvable using logic reasoning.
Though a puzzle SHOULD be solvable using this technique , it is not always possible in more advanced puzzles. The most difficult levels require you to assume that a box is filled with one number or another. You pick one of the numbers, and then, you must follow the puzzle until you either solve it, or come to a impossible situation. Using the logical reasoning of "reductio ad absurdum", you then conclude that the number you picked WASN'T the correct number and start over from that junction point.
Is there any tournament for sudoku?
There is a World Sudoku Championship held every year since 2006. It is run by the World Puzzle Federation, and more info can be found in the related links.
Not always. There is a practically infinite number of grids that cannot be solved using even the most advanced techniques, including some that blur the line between logic and trial and error. A software and puzzle designer known as Ruud has compiled a list of 50,000 such puzzles, which can be found here: http://www.sudokuvault.com/top50000.zip Unfortunately, nearly all sudoku puzzles found in American publications are computer generated, so there is no guarantee you won't come across puzzles that cannot be solved logically, but a majority of them still can.

What does naked singles mean in sudoku?
A Naked Single is a case where a cell has only 1 possible value.
The name comes from analogy with Naked Pairs, Triples etc. A Naked Pair is when two cells A and B of some group - a row, column, or box - have the same two possible values. Whichever way those 2 values are assigned to cells A and B, they are not available to fill any of the other cells, so they can be removed as possibilities from the rest of the group. The "naked" indicates there are no other possibilities but the pair. Naked Triples, Quads, etc. work similarly. By extension downward, a single cell with a single possibility is a naked single.
