because you don't like square numbers other than 100?
i'm kidding
i made 100 cubes, selected them all, made them a rigid body and applied turbulance to them all, and it worked
i did as you said, cept i had them sitting above a soft body plane, although i don't think that made a difference
are you using the default turbulance? maybe you need to increase the force of your field
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
