The rule they are referring to states that 68% of the population is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. That means that 32% are outside of that range; half of them are higher and the other half are lower than 1 STD away from the mean. So 16% are above 1 STD above the mean or 16% are above 112+21 or 133.
