TTABlog Test: Which of These Three Section 2(d) Oppositions Was/Were Dismissed?

A TTAB judge once said to me that one can predict the outcome of a Section 2(d) case about 95 percent of the time just by looking at the marks and the involved goods and/or services. Here are three Section 2(d) oppositions recently decided by the TTAB. At least one of the oppositions was dismissed. How do you think these three came out? [Answers in first comment.]
