"Does anyone of you know ..." or "Do anyone of you know ..."?
Should I say "does anyone of you know the answer" or "do anyone of you know the answer"?
I am inclined to "Does anyone of you ....". My reasoning is that the subject of the sentence is "anyone".
But, once upon a time, I was told that the correct usage should be "Do anyone of you ...".
So I am kind of confused now. Could anyone of you help me? Thanks in advance.

Norman,
Actually the question is grammatically a little more complicated than it needs to be. You can say:
"Does anyone know..." or "Do any of you know..."
...and both of these would mean the same as the sentences you posted.
Cheers!

A better way of putting it would be; Does anyone know the answer?
