Partitions of a set V form a t-cover if each t-element subset is covered by some block of some partitions. The rank of a t-cover is the size of the largest block appearing. What is the minimum rank of a t-cover of an n-element set, consisting of r partitions? The main result says that it is at least n/q, where q is the smallest integer satisfying r ⩽ qt−1 + qt−2 + ⋯ + q + 1
