are you thinking of a rhetorical question? It's one that's asked without the asker really expecting an answer, they're just making a point.

Trivial or rhetorical, depending on whether it either makes no sense or answers itself. Quote "A fool can ask a question that a wise man cannot answer."

In addition to the rhetorical question, there is also the koan. Probably the best-known koan is "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"
