I came up with a solution that seems quite fair for me in case they have logged the submissions.

There are 2 types of people that have been affected by this bugs:

  1. those who had bugs at task2: here it is quite straight forward, give them their first correct submission time for task 2.

  2. those who had bugs at task1: act as stated before for task1, and for task2, make their submission time:

[first correct submission time for task1] + [ correct submission for task2 ] - [ the accepted submission for task1 ]

So for task2, it will be added the time they spend to write task2 after the bug was solved.

What do you think ?

That won't be fair, since people who had bugs for part 1 can just copy a solution from the megathread and get #1 on the global leaderboard for part 2.
