What is the word for a question where you already know the answer is going to be a no?
For example, the hypothetical question "Will Blackberry come back to its glory days?" is a definite no, but some people ask the question anyway.
What is the word for this type of question?

Some would say "Rhetorical" , but that's a question you don't want to be answered. Big difference.
Moot?

Thanks for answering, but it is not the answer I wanted. I want the answer to be more like a rhetorical no as opposed to a rhetorical yes.
I saw the answer on Arstechnica one day before, but can't find it.
