You're girlfriend must not be too bright. She minimizes her time by mowing lengthwise. However, it would take as long (26.25 minutes) with a 22" mower as with a 21" mower. Since it seemed faster, she must be mowing widthwise. In that case her time dropped from 42 minutes to 36.125 minutes.
I may have this all wrong, but:
If you mow along the longer side, it will take 160 seconds or 2.65 minutes less to mow the lawn.
If you mow along the shorter side, it will take 230 seconds or 3.83 minutes less to mow the lawn.
To figure this out, 150 feet equals 1800 inches.
Dividing by 21 inches means that it will take 85.71 or 86 paths (mowing along the shorter sides).
Dividing 1800 inches by 22 inches requires 81.81 or 82 paths.
Dividing 105 feet or 1260 inches by 21 inches means that it will take 60 paths to mow the lawn.
Dividing 1260 inches by 22 inches means that it will require 57.27 or 58 paths.
The number of times required to turn around will be one less than the number of paths.
Here is a comparison of the data for each mower:
Mower Mow along
width or length Number of paths Number of times to turn around Time to mow each strip Total Time
-old 21" length 60 59 1.25 min or 75 sec _ 4,795 sec or 79.9 min
new 22" length 58 57 1.25 min or 75 sec_ 4,635 sec or 77.3 min
-.old 21" width 86 85 .875 min or 52.5 sec 4,940 sec or 82.3 min
new 22" .width 82 81 .875 min or 52.5 sec 4,710 sec or 78.5 min

You must be joking! Only in California where you don't have any old castles, you have a Newcastle. Fat Tire Amber Ale for me.

Five seconds indeed, did you take into account painting the fence!
BTW Don't cut your ear off like Vincent van Gogh, but all artists suffer for their art.
Ps: Is your nephew still annoying?
Ms. Ette has four grandchildren.
1. They were born in four consecutive months with the oldest born in the first of the four months, the second oldest born in the second month, and the youngest in the fourth month.
2. The days on which they were born are ascending numbers from the oldest grandchild down to the youngest (in other words, the oldest grandchild was born on a day which is less than the day that the 2nd oldest child was born, and so on.
3. Three of the grandchildren were born in Leap Years, but the oldest was not.
4. Carrie's birthday was on the 18th of the month, and the oldest was born on the 2nd of the month
5. None of the grandchildren was born in January or July.
6. The sum of the days on which they were born is 77.
7. The youngest was born on the 29th of a month which has 30 days.
8. James was born in 1998.
9. Kate was born in May
10. Jackson and one of his cousins were the only ones born in 2004.
Can you give the birthday (month, day, and year) for each of her four grandchildren
