I'm stumped with a survey design because I'm not sure how to independently randomize as many things as I want to in the way I want to. I've tried every combination of block randomizer, question randomizer, and loop & merge I can think of.

I have 2 sets I want to independently counterbalance without repeats: a list of 8 pairs of terms and a list of 8 questions. I want both the order of terms and the order of questions the terms are piped into randomized, and I don't want anything to repeat.
To add a wrinkle, I only want to display one member of the pair of terms.
See janky diagram:

It would be easiest/most effective is you use a web service or javascript to help with the randomization.
Using Loop & Merge, the loops could be your eight questions A-G. Randomize the loop. Then as loop & merge field 2, pipe in an embedded data field that represents a randomly selected item from your pairs 1a through 8b. Use a web service or javascript to set those embedded data field values.
