A former English teacher of mine told me in the 1960's, that this was a question set on an examination paper at Durham University. What do you think?

If that is a question, then this is an answer.
However, i haven't been able to find any basis to the effect that that really occurred at Durham or any other university. In high school though i had a teacher who put that on one of our finals, because she claimed a professor did it to her in college.

Do I think it was a question on an exam at Durham University? I don't know. I didn't go to Durham. I think it is probably an urban myth.

Yes, if this is an answer
Apocryphal story I think. I've heard the story that it was a question on an Oxford philosophy paper and the student who got the highest mark gave the reply above.

yes. It's an expression asking for a response containing a subject and verb. Is this an answer?

Of course it is. It properly ends in a question mark. Enough said.

Yes, I do believe it is a question. It asks, therefore it is.
Most questions ask about something else. This one asks about itself.
