Real numbers between 0 and 1, inclusive, are chosen in the following manner. A fair coin is flipped. If it lands heads, then it is flipped again and the chosen number is 0 if the second flip is heads and 1 if the second flip is tails. On the other hand, if the first coin flip is tails, then the number is chosen uniformly at random from the closed interval $[0,1]$. Two random numbers $x$ and $y$ are chosen independently in this manner. What is the probability that $|x-y| > \tfrac{1}{2}$? $\textbf{(A)} \frac{1}{3} \qquad \textbf{(B)} \frac{7}{16} \qquad \textbf{(C)} \frac{1}{2} \qquad \textbf{(D)} \frac{9}{16} \qquad \textbf{(E)} \frac{2}{3}$
