I read that in order to break the trace from the sender of my Monero to the recipient of my Monero, I need to make several transactions between my wallets, for example:

someone sent me 1 XMR --> my wallet 1 --> my wallet 2 --> recipient of my 1 XMR

(that i consider 1 additional transaction in aim to break the trace)

Can anyone explain so even layman understands chance/probability of breaking the trace when doing 0,1,2 such transactions between own wallets?

So currently, each time you make a transaction, you are one of 16 possible outputs. So when you make the first transaction, you have 16 outputs that could possibly be yours. And then at a second transaction, you have 32 outputs that could possibly be yours.

isn't it 16^2 ?

Hey, don't judge me. I made a "C" in math class for a reason.
