i was going to mention the area of the bricks, but badnick's beat me to it.
if you're applying the same load to a small brick as opposed to a larger brick, the rate at which the bricks will fail will probably change, dependant on the surface area that the brick has in contact with what's underneath it.
looks like an interesting thread with many possible scenarios. a ripe scenario for inquisitive minds. god damn engineers!
