It took me some time, but I realized they're asking "Does anyone have". I think.

They tried to use verb raising, which is where the verb is moved to the start of a sentence to ask a question. We usually only do it for "to be" (e.g., "is"), but we very rarely do it with "to have", so maybe that's where that came from.

(Think "John is good" becoming "Is John good?", instead of needing a question word or "do" at the start of the sentence)
