As I understand it, you need to directly have relays that overlap with the people you are communicating with, and the relays do not talk directly to eachother. Someone could do the math on if you are both following 10 random relays out of the 160 existing relays of missing etc

I just did the math on this, your chances of missing are ~50% at 10 RANDOM relays each.  Adding 10 more decreases it by another 50% to 25%, etc.  This math ignores the fact that in practice many common, large relays bring this number down massively.

It also ignores the fact that as a general rule, the people who you are wanting to communicate with are likely going to be gravitating to the similar virtual space and relays as you.
