For three events $A, B$ and $C$,$P(\text{Exactly one of } A \text{ or } B \text{ occurs}) = P(\text{Exactly one of } B \text{ or } C \text{ occurs}) = P(\text{Exactly one of } C \text{ or } A \text{ occurs}) = \frac{1}{4}$ and $P(\text{All the three events occur simultaneously}) = \frac{1}{16}$. Then the probability that at least one of the events occurs is:
