A solution would be to ask the users (students) to log in before they make  
the request.
My personal expirience is that this surge protection is a bit too strict  
in standard config.
I run into it all the time and I'm not superhuman at all.
I do tend to work with multiple tabs at the same time to easely reproduce  
things that reoccur over the wiki or check how the syntax is of something  
I used before already.
