Alfonso will become famous soon enough
David tried and got a deductive explanation. Not to repeat what David said, I will try an inductive one. So, we’ll start from the examples, and the rules will easily come out (I hope). Let’s try to fill the gaps with qué or cuál. Notice that in some of them there are two possibilities. These are the most interesting, because you cannot explain them only through a formal explanation, that’s to say, it’s not an exigency of the structure, but also a semantic or, at least, stylistic choice of the speaker.
