Selectin one question from 7 blocks w/o repeats

Is there a way to select 1 of 24 questions from 7 identical blocks without repeating any of the 7 resulting questions? I have 7 blocks of 24 questions each and I would like to randomize them so that I end up with 7 unique questions. I can randomize each block, but the resulting survey sometime has a question or two repeated.

Why do you need 7 identical blocks?

If there is some variation in the language or stimulus but they're otherwise asking the same thing, I'd offload some of the parameterization to Embedded Data/Survey Flow logic and then pipe whatever you need into a single block, where you can display a random and unique subset of your 24 questions.
They're the same 24 questions (each question is a list of words), from which I need to have 7 different pieces of information (hence the 7 blocks/topics). They have to be 7 different blocks, so I don't have 2 of the same topic.
