technically a rhetorical question can have an answer see definitions ...
The rhetorical question is usually defined as any question asked for a purpose other than to obtain the information the question asks. For example, "Why are you so stupid?" is likely ...
rhetorical questions
A rhetorical question implies its own answer; it’s a way of making a point. Examples: “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” “What business is it of yours?” “How did that idiot ever get ...
so based on the definition and the question
so every question can have some sort of answer (good, bad, true, false etc ...) it's whether the answer is implied or asked not really wanting or needing an answer.
So I'd have to say no, to question with no answer ... it would be a statement.

A conundrum? One of the definitions is a question or problem with only a conjectural answer. e.g. which came first the chicken or the egg.
Logical fallacy/a loaded question? e.g. 'Have you stopped beating your wife?' to which you can answer neither yes nor no.
I don't think either of these is correct but can't think of the answer.

It is a question that was never asked....you may get an answer you dont like to a question but all asked questions get an answer, they may not answer your specific question, but none-the-less it gets answered. If you dont get an answer you like maybe rephrase it, make it clearer, etc.

A rhetorical question is one where you don't expect an answer. Is that what you mean?

I don't know what it's called exactly, but I have plenty of examples of these which I have put to Microsoft/eBay/Paypal Customer Services.
Their non-answers are legion.
