Hi,
No. 17: The initial grid structure consists of quadratic cells as usual, but a building complex can be comprised of several such cells. A complex does not have to be rectangular any more (but it always consists of a finite number of quadratic cells).
No. 10: A clue always consists of a single number, and that number must be among the visible numbers in the respective row/column. It does not have to be the first number. Example: If a clue of 3 is given in a 4x4 grid, the possible arrangements are: 3124, 3214, 3142, 3241, 3412, 3421, 1324, 1342, 2314, 2341, 1234, 2134 (when the clue is given on the left-hand side). The 3 is visible in those constellations; it would be invisible in every other constellation.
By the way, examples for most of the variations can be found on my homepage. An example for No. 18 is among the Puzzles of the week (3/2011).
