in Box 9, we already have 2 cages with combined sum of 16. Hence the other 2 cages with missing sums add upto 29. From the remaining sums this 29 can either be 17,12 or 13,16. the pair of 12,17 is eliminated as the 2 cell cage cannot be 17 since 8 is already there in R9C9 and it cannot be 12 also since one of the numbers in 6. Hence the 2 cell cage has a missing sum of 13 (6,7) and the 3 cell cage has sum of 16 (2,5,9).

so now we are left with missings sums of 3,4,7,9,11,12,17,19.

I guess from here on the puzzle solves logically :) but if anyone wants me to continue I will be glad to do it.
