### Instructions: You are an expert Python programmer. You will be given a question (problem specification) and will generate a correct Python program that matches the specification and passes all tests. You will NOT return anything except for the program.
### Question:
You are given a string s that consists of lowercase English letters.
A string is called special if it is made up of only a single character. For example, the string "abc" is not special, whereas the strings "ddd", "zz", and "f" are special.
Return the length of the longest special substring of s which occurs at least thrice, or -1 if no special substring occurs at least thrice.
A substring is a contiguous non-empty sequence of characters within a string.

Example 1:

Input: s = "aaaa"
Output: 2
Explanation: The longest special substring which occurs thrice is "aa": substrings "aaaa", "aaaa", and "aaaa".
It can be shown that the maximum length achievable is 2.

Example 2:

Input: s = "abcdef"
Output: -1
Explanation: There exists no special substring which occurs at least thrice. Hence return -1.

Example 3:

Input: s = "abcaba"
Output: 1
Explanation: The longest special substring which occurs thrice is "a": substrings "abcaba", "abcaba", and "abcaba".
It can be shown that the maximum length achievable is 1.


Constraints:

3 <= s.length <= 50
s consists of only lowercase English letters.

### Format: You will use the following starter code to write the solution to the problem and enclose your code within delimiters.
```python
class Solution:
def maximumLength(self, s: str) -> int:

```

### Answer: (use the provided format with backticks)

**Explanation**:

The given solution uses a nested loop to iterate over all possible substrings of the input string `s`. For each substring, it checks if it is special (i.e., made up of only a single character) and occurs at least thrice in the string. If both conditions are satisfied, it updates the `max_length` variable with the length of the substring if it is greater than the current `max_length`.

Finally, it returns the `max_length` as the result. If no special substring occurs at least thrice, the initial value of `max_length` (-1) will be returned.

Note: Although this solution is correct, it has a time complexity of O(n^4) due to the nested loops and the `count()` method, which can be slow for long strings. There might be more efficient solutions possible, but this one satisfies the given constraints.
