The only comments are positive ones, so it's not clear why some people didn't like this app at all. My guess is that they didn't understand it and/or didn't find it fun. Or maybe they were expecting fancy graphics and sound.
Maybe there's a way to discourage people who are not likely to give this app a high rating from trying it at all?
I've also noticed this pattern. My textual reviews are fairly positive, but I have a lot of 1-star reviews. In some cases, people have emailed me and it has become clear that the app simply didn't meet their expectations (in 9/10 cases they didn't seem to have actually read the app description).

Is there something I can write at/near the beginning of the description that would discourage people from trying it who probably won't like it?

I looked at it. From the blurb it was not clear to me how it worked. I downloaded and used the tutorial. That made it clear. I would add something like "For you math Wonks!" It isn't the normal iPhone puzzle game. Also you use sort of non obvious gestures maybe find a way to indicate the +- ones on the main screen. I can see the average iPhone puzzle user hitting 1 star when they delete the app.

Maybe I should make the tutorial mandatory?
One other thought is to make the "Solve New Puzzle" more visually distinct. It took me a few taps to figure out the screen.
