Maximizing the Profit

    I am using Python 3 and used combinations, but for some reason I am getting a timed out on some test cases:

    def maximumProfit(p):
    #
    # Write your code here.
    #
    max = -99999
    temp = 0
    if len(p) < 3:
        return -1
    c = list(combinations(p, 3))
    for i in c:
        if i[2] > i[1] and i[1] > i[0]:
            temp = i[0]*i[1]*i[2]
            if temp > max:
                max = temp
    if max == -99999:
        return -1
    else:
        return(max)
