26. self = 0.2 is actually reasonable for all flexible hydrocarbon polymers without bulky side groups.
27. The sc lattice (z = 6) has 25 sites out to the second shell (1 in the zeroth shell, 6 in the first shell, and 18 in the second shell). Five of these are occupied by the chain that owns the zeroth shell, leaving 20 stochastic sites.
