We consider the problem of learning an unknown partition of an $n$ element universe using rank queries. Such queries take as input a subset of the universe and return the number of parts of the partition it intersects. We give a simple $O(n)$-query, efficient, deterministic algorithm for this problem. We also generalize to give an $O(n + k\log r)$-rank query algorithm for a general partition matroid where $k$ is the number of parts and $r$ is the rank of the matroid.
