Liked the quiz man (Y). 

Just curious about Q2, about the Historical roots of NL? I knew Aristotle didn't write a book on it but he was the firsts to derive it wasn't he? Or is that not the questions asking?

Very good quiz. However, misspellings and bad grammar annoyed me. Also, it's very difficult to say that Natural Law is completely Absolute as the undefined Secondary Precepts leave a little room for relativity. But otherwise, I did enjoy it :D
