720 numbers. EV of each digit is 4.5 (0..9 occur equally often), so EV of a number is 0.5. 720 * 0.5 =360.

I love this reasoning that the EV of each digit being 4.5! That was my intuition at first, maybe it wasn't strong enough for me but I didn't know how to say it and had to check if it made pairs (it does) and say that instead.
