You end your post with a question that isn't related to probability. You could say the probibility question is implied, but it's not open ended 
I would imagine the probability is very low of two people picking the same number. I personally would go with 1 or 100,000.

I'd write 1 and hope the other person does too

It's not a probability question in that it has a structured solution with an answer. But certainly you would choose a number that you think is most probable for the stranger to guess.

Mathematically it's easy of th number is 1-10. It's 1/10 * 1/9

So what's the correct answer?

This is what I would do also.
Unless I knew the other person was a Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy Fan. Then I'd pick 42.

If the range is 0-366 (or maybe 367) you would have the probability of greater than 50% in a random sample of equal to or greater than 23.
This is assuming no biases. Your chances would probably be much better than 50% if you guessed between 0-50 and much worse if you guessed in the 200+ region
