More on engine failure

I looked at their website under safety but was not completely convinced:
If say, left forward clockwise engine would fail. How would unbalanced lift and difference in torque be countered?
I only find a solution for same lift when left forward anti clockwise engine can go to double torque.
When you allow for 0,8 total torque the left forward anti clockwise engine has to go up to 1,6.
All under the assumption that lift and torque have linear relationship also when torque over a anti and clockwise pair of rotors are factor 3 different.

Nice sunday afternoon mathematics!
