ubuntu unix manual

Recently, while preparing for an introductory Exam on UNIX, I learnt that the manual is divided into 8 sections. While going through the manual, I found a 'games' section (6). I saw a program called 'espdiff' and wanted to try it...

Here is a sample run: $ espdiff Please concentrate... No brainwave activity detected. Aborting. $

I don't understand what this means and suprisingly, the manual didn't help also. Could you explain what this game is about and how to use it?

espdiff is one Ubuntu's Easter-eggs since Ubuntu 10.04 which comes with it's man page which doesn't really explain any thing but some comics . it's part of the patch-utils package, just read the man page it's only 56 pages

man espdiff
