Another puzzle, this one isn't too bad I think. Give it a try if you've got some spare time :)

@Celestia the interactions in columns 4 and 5 keep breaking the puzzle for me. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
the 1 in box 5 forces the 1 in the 8 cage into box 1, this forces the 1 into the 10 cage of box 4 and puts 68 in the 14 cage.
Now we have 8s pointing into box 5 which restrict the 20 cage. 479 and 578 break the 12 cage. 389 with 8 in r7c5 sets the 19 cage f box 5 to 478, or 568 with 8 in r5c4, both of which break the 12 cage. 659 sets the 19 cage to 478, breaking the 12 cage.

@atinyfairy good job so far :) your logic is good up until your considerations of how the interactions in box 5 effect the 12 cage. And while It is possible to find the right cage layout by trying all the various permutations , that's not actually intended and I would instead recommend adding some cages together and seeing if you can find anything interesting from that

@Celestia ooh I was thinking backwards, the 47 isn't pointing INTO the 12 cage so it doesn't break the 12 cage
adding the cage totals does force the outside cells to be 89 pairs which neatly sets the values of the four central cages! let's see where it goes from here!
(thanks for the help, and also for the puzzle!)
