Chloe chooses a real number uniformly at random from the interval $[0, 2017]$. Independently, Laurent chooses a real number uniformly at random from the interval $[0, 4034]$. What is the probability that Laurent's number is greater than Chloe's number? 
$\textbf{(A) } \frac{1}{2} \qquad \textbf{(B) } \frac{2}{3} \qquad \textbf{(C) } \frac{3}{4} \qquad \textbf{(D) } \frac{5}{6} \qquad \textbf{(E) } \frac{7}{8}$
Denote "winning" to mean "picking a greater number".
There is a $\frac{1}{2}$ chance that Laurent chooses a number in the interval $[2017, 4034]$. In this case, Chloé cannot possibly win, since the maximum number she can pick is $2017$. Otherwise, if Laurent picks a number in the interval $[0, 2017]$, with probability $\frac{1}{2}$, then the two people are symmetric, and each has a $\frac{1}{2}$ chance of winning. Then, the total probability is $\frac{1}{2}\times1 + \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2} = \boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{3}{4}}.$
