[Jprogramming] Puzzle: nontransitive rank

['Pascal Jasmin' via Programming]

cool puzzle that seems unsolvable given 
http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/d600xv.htm

the property of enigma is that when operated at its "native rank" it returns the first result, but

enigma"enigma applies enigma at enigma's rank, and so how could this be different?
