We are trying to work through a variant of the rooks problem.

In our case, we have a within-subjects design in that everyone sees all 6 scenarios in all 6 conditions. We have 6 different Scenarios (e.g., A, B, C, D, E, F) and 6 different Conditions (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). We are hoping to use Inquisit to randomly present six different scenarios that are tied to 6 different conditions. There are 36 possible combinations of Scenarios/Conditions. However, we want to set it such that if a participant sees a Scenario for a particular condition, that Scenario should not be used for another condition:

A1    B1    C1    D1    E1    F1
A2    B2    C2    D2    E2    F2
A3    B3    C3    D3    E3    F3
A4    B4    C4    D4    E4    F4
A5    B5    C5    D5    E5    F5
A6    B6    C6    D6    E6    F6

So say the first thing that someone sees is A1. The fact A1 is displayed means B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, as well as A2, A3, A4, A5, and A6 can't be shown in the following trials. Then in the next trial, say B2 is shown, then B3, B4, B5, B6, and C2, D2, E2, and F2 can't be shown in the following trails, as well as the previous ones that can't be shown.

Any help on specifying how this can be done would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!!
