    A quick search on Microsft's website:

    This clearly gives 8, which wasbn't even an option!

    Not my favourite question, although it did make me think a bit more about indexes I suppose...

    If only the question had been about index types!

    As it was, it was about types of index structures.

    Several people made the same error.

    Okay, I'm curious. What could I have done better to make it clearer that this question was about the different types of index structures, and not the different types of indexes? Should I have specifically said (NOT index TYPES, but types of index STRUCTURES)?

    I did not want this to be a confusing question, and I didn't think it was, yet many people missed this and have complained about it.
