A couple of thoughts...

Explanation:

Consider these two examples:

  • Tell me if it is possible to ask a question without a question mark!

  • I wonder if it is possible to ask a question without using a question mark.

Both of these sentences invite a response to the question "Can you ask a question without a question mark?".

The first example is a command and hence terminated with an exclamation mark.

The second example is a statement, so terminated with a full stop.

Both could be classified as questions.
