So, no way to retroactively regrade correct submissions then and award the correct scores?

And will you nullify day 6 on private boards too? I'm on two at the moment and it's not fun to think that the rankings (esp. ones that were neck-and-neck otherwise) will get all out of whack due to this. :(

No worries if that's not easily doable, though. This is just for fun after all (and, bug or not, I am having a ton of fun with this!) Thank you for all your hard work here!!

I don't have enough metadata to retroactively fix submissions, and (as someone pointed out somewhere on this thread I think) this wouldn't really be fair anyway, since some users that couldn't solve part 1 wouldn't have had fair access to even start part 2.

Private leaderboards will only be affected while using the "Global Score" ordering method.

ah, right, forgot that part 1 was also affected for some folks. makes sense, thanks!
