Does, because, even though you're talking to multiple people, you're asking ONE GROUP and asking about ONE PERSON, so you have to use the singular.

I go fully with the observations of my friend,Mr." M S ".When someone is the best,no one else can be compared with that person.He/she is supreme in the field/area in which he/she has been crowned as the Best.An example will suffice.Muralitharan is the best Test wicket taker/bowler having taken 800 wickets.Obviously he is the best.No one else can even approach that figure.When that fact is accepted there is no question of anyone else being called the best with him because it would only detract his unique and unbeatable record.Have the Best Day. Then tell me whether some other past day can be compared with that,at least till you have another day in the future which may turn out better?but then that will be in the future.

"Does anybody" is correct.
The first and second person take "do", as in I do and you do, but the third person singular takes "does". Mary "does", he "does", anybody "does". But people "do", they "do".
I can't quite make that rationale fit for "everyone does" though LOL

"Does anybody?" is the only correct one of the two.
"Does anyone?" is also correct.

'Does anybody' is correct as the word anybody is always singular.
