Yup. A schwack is a variable amount, that usually falls between "some" and "a
Jesus-load & a half"(1) In this case, it's 20. :)
I'm doing an informal poll, to satisfy my curiosity.
When you (if you) order 5145 Grey Bricks, how many do you usually order?
(my answer) Usually 10 or 20. I have ordered other amounts, but never less
than 10, and not more than 30 (at a single time).
How often do you get comments from the S@H rep about the quantity you're
ordering?
(my answer) About every second or third time, the rep says something like "you
must be building something big!" or "30? Why would you need that many?"
