They seem to have fixed that problem in a weekend, or am I missing something?

I'm unclear what you are saying - do you expect perfection from Google? I don't - mistakes happen. But I do expect them to fix things when they do something wrong.

What I mentioned was not simply a mistake. They fully knew what they were doing (i. e.: plagiarizing an existing solution), and then they "fixed" it only when they actually got caught.
