However, it requires you to stack the opposite color bricks on top of each other like a checkerboard, and *not* to stagger the bricks. This wouldn't be your typical brick wall and wouldn't be very strong.
If it requires staggering, you can see that if you put two different color bricks down next to each other, there is no way to stagger a brick between the two unless you add a 3rd color.

Yes. Alternate them on the bottom row:RWRWRWRWRW
then reverse the order on the next row: WRWRWRWRWR
and repeat the bottom row. RWRWRWRWRW
You could also start with White

Only if you don't interlock or interleaf the bricks.
