Hello my dear friends. How can I improve speed of my python code, which seems to do right calculations but it takes too long?

totallist = [int(i) for i in input().split()]
maxtopics = 0
guyslist = []
smarteams = 0
for n in range(0, totallist[0]):
    guyslist += [str(input())]
for i in range(0, totallist[0]-1):
    for j in range (i+1, totallist[0]):
       knowntopics = 0
       for q in range (0, totallist[1]):
          if int(guyslist[i][q]) or int(guyslist[j][q]): 
             knowntopics += 1
       if knowntopics > maxtopics:
          maxtopics = knowntopics
          smarteams = 1
       elif knowntopics == maxtopics:
          smarteams += 1
print (maxtopics)
print (smarteams)
