    Hi Jackson,

    Nice to hear from you again!

    So now you know that ‘Whose who’ is wrong, and it should be ‘Who’s Who’.

    As for no question mark, it could easily be a statement OR a question, so a question mark isn’t compulsory.

    This is the correct statement from your three examples:

    3. “Who’s who on the Titanic’s List of Passengers…”

    Remember to say ALL the words including the missing bits, so it is actually:

    3. “Who -IS- who on the Titanic’s List of Passengers…”

    Hope this helps,
    Cheers
