Question topic slew

and just to round off this topic to get a fuller picture:

Why do ducted fans (on jets) have so many blades and yet have an amazing efficiency? (At least I think they would better be efficient because there is too much power at stake.) Surely they are in each other's way.. I mean wake.

Could someone clear this up, please?
